Our son, Ethan, worked at Camp Hunt, a Boy Scout camp at Bear Lake, Utah all summer. He was gone for 10 weeks and we missed him. He had an amazing time, of course! I'm not sure he wanted to come home.

He worked in the handy craft area teaching wood carving and Indian lore.

He also got to be a part of the group that retired flags. That was his favorite thing to be a part of.

On the final day of camp we got a call from the camp medic. She was calling to tell us that Ethan got his toe smashed and she wanted to take him in to see a doctor and get it x-rayed. They have a floating dock on the waterfront at camp and Ethan was helping to take it down and put it in storage. It slipped out of the hands of those carrying it and his toe happened to be underneath. Luckily it wasn't broken but they had to burn a hole in the nail to relieve pressure. It looks nasty but we hope it will heal quickly!
So after a long hot summer we finally got to go pick him up and bring him home. He had obviously made some great friends and is already talking about going back next year!
