If you snooze, you loose....at least at a scout camp out

Chance had a scout camp out this week end.  He packed his backpack, rolled his sleeping bag, and made sure he had enough food to survive in the wilds overnight.
The scouts played capture the flag and stayed up until the wee hours of the night. Who goes on a scout camp out to sleep? The tents are merely a formality.
Come morning roll call, Chance kept sleeping.  You can do that when you don't hear anything going on around you in the morning.
So while the other scouts packed up and ate breakfast, Chance caught up on his beauty sleep.
Usually someone wakes Chance up in the morning at scout camp, but this time, there were a few distractions.
One, Chance had some new scout leaders that are not experienced at camping with Chance and therefore it did not occur to them that he would need an extra hand in waking up.  The tweeting birdies and other scouts sloshing through out the tent were not enough to raise Chance from his sleep of the dead.
The camp was also in a hurry.  One of the scout leaders had to get home earlier than usual, so the camp was in a hurry to pack up and go.
By the time someone realized that Chance was still sleeping, the time for breakfast had passed and Chance barley had time to pack up his bedroll and head out when he awoke.
Chance's friends are usually good about waking him up at scout camp.  This time there were several boys in one tent and they were all in a hurry after staying up late. 
Chance's dad talked to the new scout leader and just explained that Chance will most likely not wake up on time in the morning with out help because he does not hear the camp sounds or the boys teasing and talking.
Once that was drawn to his attention, the scout leader said it make perfect sense.
We hearing people don't always think of what it would be like to not hear anything in the morning because it never happens to us...some of those birds out in the wilds can be pretty darn loud in the morning. And scouts.  They are pretty darn loud in the morning too.
None of this affects Chance's world of silence.
Chance took it all in stride and I think everyone will be more aware during the next camp out.  Maybe this will help Chance never get kitchen duty first thing in the morning:)

I have a Robin nest with eggs in the plum tree in the back yard. I'm going to try to see how many eggs are the nest but i don't think shes going to let me. (Thats not a surprise to me at all.) She is very protective and will not let me get close to the nest when she can see me, which is almost every time I try to check how many eggs there are.

It s going to be a lot of fun watching them hatch and grow up. I just hope me and my siblings don't scare her bad enough to make her abandon the nest (we wouldn't scare her on purpose of course but we'll see how things go.)

I think that it's going to be a lot of fun watching them grow up. I'll try to get some pictures I can put on the blog but i don't think she'll let me for a while.

Have fun relax and enjoy "Simple Spring Things In A Long Day."

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!HOW IS EVERYONE DOING? TELL ME SOME NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.........COME ON I WANT TO HEAR SOME!

Feeling a little depressed. Booker got put to sleep on Christmas eve and I'm still missing him. luckily I'm Mormon and know about the great plan and know that i will see him again in not to long.
Loving life and loving my family but still but wish we didn't have to put Booker to sleep.
Sorry I haven't written in so long it's because I kinda, sorta, forgot my password and just barely had time to go change it.
Had my aunt, uncle, and little cousin over for Christmas.
I had a lot of fun at Christmas, I got a long board, a set of Lego's, a candy making book for my business, etc.

I'm in St. George with family today,and leaving tonight.I'm having lots of fun but I'm also burning up in this 100-110 degree heat, but like I said I'm having fun.I'm having dinner in a little while,{it smelled so good earlier today.}

I went wake boarding for the first time today, at a family reunion today.I had a hard time the first four-five times.Then on my sixth-seven time I got up and went a good quater mile, at least.I had tons of fun and had a good time.
