Nathan is SO excited for his first overnight campout.
Brian made sure he was well equipped with all the necessities including a cool backpack, a pocket knife and a new pair of hiking boots.
These cute eleven year olds are in for a great outdoor adventure! As a mother, it was a milestone moment for me--seeing my growing boy all geared up and ready to go.

I'm excited for your boy scout, too. I was always so jealous growing up with a scout master dad. Every time they went off camping I thought they must be having the best time in the world....which is, I'm sure, exactly what happens. Nathan will have such a great time!
What a handsome, well-equipped boy scout. It is easy to tell that he has great support from his parents. What an exciting beginning of scouting adventures for Nathan
What an exciting event. Nathan looks totally ready for it all. More women should have the privilege of going and watching one of these campouts. As a Primary President I was one of only two or three women attending one and I spent most of the time fighting back tears. The men were so awesome nurturing these budding men, allowing them to cry when necessary but also reassuring and encouraging them to try new things. It filled my heart with such love. To me it was always the Priesthood and manhood at its finest. Men lovingly supporting these boys and modeling for them what it means to be a man.
Will it really happen that fast?! Wonderfully, exciting milestones...which still at times produce lumps in the throat and a heart swelling with gratitude. You must have been proud parents that day!
