As the mom, does anyone ever get comfortable with the term "Snow Caving"? When I hear that is what the scouts are planning on doing for a weekend activity, somewhere a pit in my stomach begins to form. I don't understand it, don't get why anyone would do it, but of course have to say yes when this boy says that is how he wants to spend his Friday night. I know that he will be going with very capable men in our ward, I know that Drew is a smart kid, and I know that boys everywhere do it.....but still. The thought is claustrophobic and scary.
Drew quickly realized the claustrophobic and scary part too after waking around midnight and having a small panic attack in his close quarters. Luckily, they were only up at Snowbird and cell phone coverage was good, so I got a text from my big boy at 12:15 a.m. -
"Mom, are you awake?"
J.D. and I were able to call him on the phone and talk with him, have a long prayer and let him know that we loved him and that he was going to be alright.
He was alright, returned home Saturday morning with a lot of very wet clothes, but he had a smile on his face and was grateful for the opportunity. I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who comforts and protects us, I am thankful for Drew's strong testimony of prayer and the way that he uses his Father in Heaven in his life.
Jensen dream car - a Pink E-Racer
My boys spent some serious man hours designing and building this car. I love projects that bring families together, so how can you turn down a good pinewood derby. Even Ella wanted in on the action and was just as excited about the race as Jensen was.
