Today Luke is off to Rawhide Ranch for a week long overnight cowboy camp! Am I crazy? Maybe.
While I was on my marathon trip, Trent heard about this opportunity. Someone was paying the tuition for military kids to attend this camp. We thought a lot about if it was the right thing to do. He's never even been to a sleep over. In the end, we felt like the positives won out, so off I went to get all the paperwork and stuff one needs to attend camp. (We purchased Luke's boots 3 days ago and he has only taken them off to sleep. He's even wearing them with shorts. I'm trying to look the other way.)
He is totally pumped about going to Cowboy Camp, as we've been calling it. He's always liked cowboys, but really got into them while we lived with my parents because my dad collects old wax sets from when he was little. My dad always let Luke look at his stuff, all the teepee's, wagons, Indians, cowboys, horses, snakes, barrels, towns etc. Anyway, they're like 2 peas in a pod when it comes to cowboys.

At the camp he's going to be able to take care of a horse and other farm animals, shoot guns, bow & arrow, climb a rock wall, swim and who knows what else. The camp looks really cool. I'm having a hard time letting him go. I was a little weepy today, so I'm glad Trent dropped him off. He's such a big boy. Going to a sleep away camp is a really brave thing for him to be doing and I'm really proud of him. I hope he uses the opportunity to make new friends.

That should be a great time. As long as they have good leaders to watch over the kids at all times, things should go well. Let us know how it went.
Wow, you and Trent are such cool and fun parents! I bet he will love it! We'll be waiting to hear how it went!
I have been thinking about your road trip. I would love to take a long trip with our family. Although I think I would like to wait until everyone is a bit older. Thanks for sharing all about yours. You are so BRAVE!
