Outdoor Ed

A dirty, but happy D-man arrived back home on Saturday evening from his amazing trip to the Canyonlands National Park in Utah. They drove to Moab on Tuesday and then drove to their destination on Wednesday where they hiked into their camping spots for the next 3 nights. Besides his eyes swelling shut from the sweat, sand and sunscreen (he wore his glasses the rest of the trip), it was an amazing trip and experience for him. It sounds like he didn't completely gel with his group, but he did have one kid that he befriended in the group. He also got the entire group ice cream at the gas station because he read the sign (so that earned him some points). 

Because he and one other girl were the only 7th graders that made it, they are now the keepers of the traditions to be passed down next year. That's pretty good incentive to make it next year. 

 

Arriving home!
