Mirror Lake with the Scouts

Tyler and I took 6 of the boys up to Mirror Lake for a camp out and it was one of those "it's all fun and games until someone breaks an ankle" type of camp outs. Did I just ruin the ending? Oops. SPOILER ALERT!!!


We left K-ville and headed up into the mountains. We got hit with a bit of rain on the way up, but we found a great campsite and the rest of the day was clear skies! It was beautiful weather for a camp out. We threw up the tents and hammocks and made ourselves at home...






We spent the rest of the day exploring, cooking hamburgers, doing Merit Badges, and enjoying the great outdoors. We had a beautiful night sky that night and sat around the fire for hours talking and cooking marshmallows. It was a great night.

We woke up the next day to beautiful sunshine and started cooking breakfast. Somehow overnight the boys had gotten really dirty... It was kind of funny.





Oh, and they like to dance in the morning apparently. Haha! I love these guys...


After breakfast, we got into a hardcore game of Capture the Flag! Instead of playing in an open field or meadow, we decided we'd play in the middle of trees, hills, and rocks! Perfect! It actually turned out to be really fun. Everyone was having a great time until one of the boys was chasing Tyler and as Tyler was jumped over a log, he landed in a hole and screamed out in pain. As it turned out, he didn't break his ankle, but it was really close! He sprained it really bad. Fast forward a few days and this is how it looked:




That pretty much put an end to our fun. We decided to pack up and head to the lake. The weather turned nasty on us on the way up there and it turned out to be really cold when we got there. We climbed out, took a short look around, and decided to head down to Kamas and get some pizza! It was delicious.




The trip home was rainy, but uneventful. I'm pretty sure all the boys had a great time. I'm 100% sure we did a good job of wearing them out...
