Snow cave prototypes

We built a prototype using only PVC pipes but realized we’d need metal ribs to make it more sturdy.

1st prototype using PVC pipes
Sam and Jacob pose in the completed first prototype
2nd prototype used galvanized pipes with PVC connectors and 2x4s for footings

Scout Campout

Cooking dinner, Bro. Larsen, ?, Josh, Ben, Bryson
Washing up for dinner
Meal time is serious business
N0, Ben’s not being rude nor did Charlie bite his finger, but you do have to be careful using knives to prepare dinner

A day in Park City

Went to Park City, Utah for the day, mountain biking, alpine slides, etc.

Waiting in line for the alpine slide
The excitement builds
Deciding who gets to ride by themselves
James won
Ben and Jacob come in close second
James with Ammon in the background
Anthony spent the day riding on the mountain bike track
Samuel too
A nice dinner after the fun day
Sams excited for food
Having fun even waiting for the food

Clean shaven

At scout camp I challenged the boys to earn all of their merit badges. And promised that if they did, I would shave my beard, which I had been growing long (with my hair) for scout camp. They did, I did:

Before
Minus beard
After haircut
