Hi! Guest Blogger Landini here! A few weeks ago me and my dad went on a camp out with my scout troop. Only three other boys showed up to the campsite. So there were more leaders and dads then there were boys!
We were supposed to be hiking, but instead we just hiked up the road and looped around.
This was our group shot. Which turned out to be pretty good.
This is my dad and I's self portrait and I don't know where my smile went in this one.
We also made the structure of a fire, and we had to light it without a match. One of the boys brought a flint and a starter which was clever. It took us a very long time to get it started. But eventually it started. Me and my dad brought hot dogs and were enjoying them in a few minutes, but the rest of the boys and leaders food took much longer. Mostly because they were foil dinners which take a really really long time to make.
I borrowed my dads pocket knife and started carving. Very fun!
I slept good and I think my dad did too. The snow was still like 3 inches up there.
I took a really up close self portrait with the camera!
This is what it looked like before we cleaned up and left. We also roasted marshmallows and made s'mores which were delicious! It was one good camp out!
Comment Window Tidbit: I went for an hour-long walk this morning, made dinner for tonight, have done 2 loads of laundry, showered and read my scriptures so far today, woohoo.

Cool! I love that they took self-portraits and documented the camp-out. Jill, you have trained them well.
The campout looks like it was a success! :)
Nice report Landon.
I'd wait for the foil dinner- that is a favorite of mine. But marshmallows are the best part of camping! (I can do without the chocolate on this one.)
Good job documenting with photos too- I know who your mother is!
Nice camp out, those foil dinners they really do take to long. Nice post, with fun photos.
The camp-out looks like it was a success and I enjoyed the report Landon!
I would have gone with the hot dogs too. I've never loved the foil dinners. You are lucky to have a great dad who goes on this stuff with you!
Okay, I am pretty sure, maybe 95% sure that guy in the black sweatshirt on the end of the group picture works at Xactware.(Where Jason works.) I know him from somewhere and I think that is it.
Blake loves to go on scout camp outs. I think it is so great Randy goes with Landon.
Sounds like so much fun! Looks like you were up the canyon near us. There is STILL snow up there.
Nice writing skills Landon, I am so impressed.
Landon - great writing! You were so smart to bring hot dogs...I bet the other boys were jealous your food was done so quickly. I love your super close up photo!
Smart move with the hot dogs, Landini. You are wise beyond your years. I laugh in the face of those 'gourmet' foil dinners! Ha HA!
