Rock Crawlers

This morning when Andy got up he was very excited about the sunrise.   He stood in the tent and watched declaring that it was the first time he had seen the sun rise.  Jack, listening, gave us a quick lesson on how the sun worked.  It was a welcome sunrise for me as the night was a rough one.  Jack must have asked me every thirty minutes what time it was and about 3 AM my lack of sleeping bag became quite evident.   Fortunately Andy wasn't using the bottom of his bag.  We made it through.

Jay and I were asked to do the breakfast.   It went well.  I invited our two eleven year old scouts to help out.  They did a great job. 

After all was done and we were packed we went over to play around on the rocks.  Carl Johnson had a rock crawling RC car.  That was heaven for Jack and the other boys.  Jack not being shy asked if he could drive it.  Carl obliged and all of the remaining boys got to drive it also.  Carl was quite generous.   When we were walking back down to the cars Andy thanked him and told him he was awesome.   It was a lot of fun.

We did a little rock climbing of our own and enjoyed scaling a few boulders.   Then there were the lizards and a group of excited lizard hunters.   One blue belly rock crawler met his match. Not even the deepest crevice kept him safe from these determined boys.  We all laughed when they pulled it out. 

The camp out was a great success.   Both Andy and Jack talked about how much fun they had.  Here are a few pics of the rock crawlers.
