Fall Camporee by Kelly

Logan and I had a nice weekend camping at the fall camporee at Bing Canyon. It was a cold crisp fall night and day but the boys had a great time and Logan got to associate with 6 other boys of similar age. He was more worried about having fun than getting advancement, but that's OK and he did do some of both. They had a blacksmith there who taught the boys about heating and shaping metal. Logan made a fork out of half of an old horseshoe. He was proud of his creation. We also threw tomahawks and shot arrows at the archery range. This afternoon we competed in a pioneering competition and race, Our boys are young and still have some learning to do but they each had a great time. Logan is worn out and went to bed tonight at 8 pm. I was going to take some pictures but the camera had dead batteries so you will have to use your imagination. I'm tired also but am glad to be back home with my good wife and a warm bed.
