SARAH DRIVING?!!

Sarah hasn't really had a desire to obtain her driving permit.  We were VERY ok with this.  My mother thought this strange, so she encouraged Sarah to take the test, so Sarah did. She passed. All I can say is...Pay backs are HELL mom!

Tonto National Bridge with Thomas' Scout Troop

 Some of the boys.

Thomas finds it funny that he can carry one

end of the stretcher by himself and the other end

is always carried by two of the smaller boys.

 

Thomas has decided that knowing First Aid is the

coolest thing ever and that Brother PJ Lewis is the 

smartest guy in the medical field! He really looks

up to Brother Lewis.  Thomas had a

First Aid clinic the weekend after this campout

and he decided that he wants to "be a doctor or

something."

 

 Austin and Thomas, good friends.

Thomas has set a goal of earning more merit

badges then Andrew did.  :)

 

Thomas came home happy and with lots of happy

stories to share with us.  I can't tell you how

stressful it is for me to send my boys off on camp

outs.  Situations come up that are negative. That's life.

I always fear however, that because of Thomas' bi-polar

disorder that he won't be able to

think clearly when a negative moment arises. Will he

know how to slow down and handle the situation

appropriately, or will he blow up? I'm so

grateful that it was a good experience this time. I

know it won't be every time, but it was this time!
