These are some pictures that Spencer took on the Super Activity he and Tucker when on last week (well obviously he didn't take his own picture AND his camera survied the dip in the creek at Wildhorse.) The Young Men youth leader took boys 14 and above on a hiking trip along the Washington coast. Brave, brave man. It was 
a group of 13 boys and 3 leaders. The hike 5-7 miles each day from Tuesday through Thursday. They ended the trip with surf lessons on Friday which both boys enjoyed quite a bit. Tucker has decided that hiking is really cool and wants to get more "in to it". They both said they saw some amazing scenery and the trip was cool--despite all the hiking and subsequent sore legs. (Maybe some day they will be prepared to make the annaul "death march" with Crazy Lady. He didn't get any pictures of the surfing because his batteries died after the first day. Oh well. He did get a few pictures and some of the leaders to
ok a whole bunch so perhaps there will be more memorable pictures. It is so great that their YM leader is trying to do these "mega" trips with the boys. He is building memories for these kids that will last a lifetime. I know it is a lot of work but it is an awesome thing he is doing!

That's wonderful that they got to experience some hiking, camping and beautiful scenery. I'm sure they could do the death march in a minute. It IS so great that there are adults who are willing to put in the time to help make lasting memories for kids - whether it be parents or youth leaders. I know it makes a difference.
The surfing lessons sound fun. I bet they did like it! Tell them I'm impressed :0)
Sounds like an amazing trip. I'm jealous. I'm sure they must have learned a great deal.
Too bad they don't have similar experience for girls. (always been a bone of contention of mine!)
