Scout Camp 2011

Scout Camp is now over and done with. In the end it was painful, but super fun.

Day 1
We got there while it was still light out but while waiting for some of the leaders it soon got dark. As soon as they got there we hiked 1.8 miles. It was a good start, though it was a little bit painful we were glad to set up camp for the night. It was nice to see the stars- that night I saw two shooting stars and had a great night sleep.
Day 2
We woke up ready and excited for a good hike. Our original plan was to make it to the 7 mile point at which the car was parked with some extra water. And so we were off. It was nice but then our shoulders began to hurt. We took some breaks here and there but we had a good pace until we got to the first little canyon- the barbershop canyon. We were tired there but we trekked on. We soon came to Dane Canyon and we got even more tired. Time continued to past and soon we came up on our 7th mile. We then looked at the map and recognized that the car was going to be a bit further. So we kept going. Our shoulders were getting sore and our bodies getting tired, but we were determined to get to the car. Eventually we ate lunch at Dane Springs. It was really nice to take such a break.
When we finished our lunch we continued on. We came upon another part of Dane Canyon (because we were hiking a loop). After that we came upon the last canyon, another part of Barbershop Canyon. After we finished this part of our hike we completed about 12-13 miles. But by this part we were dead. Most of the team were done with the entire thing. We had some very sore people. There was only a couple of us who wanted to finish the 30 mile but there were even more who could not do the rest. We finish this hike about 5:30 we then drove to the original place where we waited for the leaders. And we ended the night with eating and some games. Then we fell asleep again under the stars.
Day 3
Because so many of the team were ready to go, we woke up and went to McDonalds for so breakfast. After breakfast we travel back home. And our trip was officially over.

And that was the trip in which we took for Scout Camp, it was a great trip and it was a great trip and we had a rather fun time. And I look forward to taking more trips like it in the future.

Father's Day

"I’m so glad when daddy comes home,
Glad as I can be;
Clap my hands and shout for joy,
Then climb upon his knee,
Put my arms around his neck,
Hug him tight like this,
Pat his cheeks, then give him what?
A great big kiss."

I remember singing this in primary, and I always remember going up with the rest of our classes and singing this song.
I love my dad, he has always been there for me.
To give a blessing when I'm sick or nervous, or he is always there to give advice and encouragement.
I love my father and I truly want to be like him. I hope that one day I will be able to be a dad like him.
I love you dad
Adieu, Porter

Life is Good

Everything is going fine in sunny Arizona. Here I got out of school a couple of weeks ago, and now I even have an opportunity for work. This Saturday I will be doing the physical part of my eagle Project. It has been a year and a half since I got my first push in that direction, and now I am finally finishing my work. Fun:) Well life is going good, summer has been good to me so far, it is always nice to get a break for school. So far I have finish a couple of books and hope to finish a couple more. I have also been working on an exercise routine, I have to do something in order to get ready for Cross Country and Baseball, for this year I am going to give it all I got.
I don't know what else to say right now, so I guess I better get going and start doing what I need to do. Well we will see you later-
Adieu and good luck
Porter

Summer Update

Well my summer has been great already. So far I have completed more this summer than last summer. I have rearranged my room, spring cleaned my room, made advances on my eagle project, woken up at 5 for about half of the days I have been out, began a habit of yoga (I plan on being able to touch my toes), and a great habit of running, plus I have finished one of my many fun reading books. Well that is a good start for my summer, let us see how if this weather continues.
Well until I think of something else to say, 'Tis I saying good-bye.
