Klondike 2014

We had 8 teachers go up and help as staff for Klondike 2014.  It was fun, it was cold and I came home with a crick in my neck.

See below:  Trey, Grant, Trevor, Michael, Jake, and can you see Kaleb??

Running the First Aid Strecher Race.  Winners of that race were our neighbors from Stone Creek Troop 223 The Spartans with an earth shattering time of 21.94 seconds to carry a troop member 30 yards down and 30 yards back up the hill.

Jonathan and Jason ran the sled races which was also a popular event.

We learned a little bit about humility and our need to watch our behavior as well.  At night time on Friday night some of the young men struggled with settling down and others struggled with how to deal with other young men's behaviors that were bothering them.  One if the awesome leaders in charge of organizing the Klondike was bothered and offended.  The next morning our young men went and apologized.  I was proud of their ability to see their wrongs and acknowledge them and to begin making repairs to them.  I believe that at this age young men begin to learn better boundaries with behavior, language, and appropriateness.  We will continue to work on these things.  

Oh .... and here is a picture of Trevor buried in the snow.
