This past week Derek has been at Scout Camp. This year it was an LDS Encampment up at Ben Delatour Scout Ranch up in Red Feather Lakes, CO. The camp was split between the young boys and the high adventure boys and was a little overbooked, but that tends to be the nature of an LDS Encampment. Overall they had a great time and were able to whitewater down the Poudre hitting class 3 – 4 rapids, hiking around the ranch, and to do the high C.O.P.E course. The last night for the high adventure boys was a Night Owl which consisted of pretty much staying up all night moving from one station to another. For Derek this was tough as most of you know he is not a “Night Owl”. He was asked to man a birthday cake booth from 12:00am – 2:00am and was successful in making it that far, with the boys really only making it that far as well being tired from the previous activities of the week.
Other than that the only thing new in the Tucker household was last week we drove out to Lincoln, NE to help move in Derek’s sister and brother-in-law into their new apartment. Matt, Derek’s brother-in-law, will be attending Law School at the University of Nebraska this fall. It was long trip, but a great time to enjoy family and see their new apartment and where Matt will be attending school. I guess now we will have to root for Nebraska come football season a little bit more down here in Colorado.
Well nothing else is going on except the usual work for Nichole and research for Derek. Hope all of you are well. Oh, also pictures from camp have been posted in the gallery and more will be added soon.
