A few days ago Brian asked Ben and Jake if they would like to go on a back packing trip to southern Utah to view the lunar eclipse with our friends this spring.
Jake declined immediately stating, "NO, THANK YOU, THAT'S WHERE BEARS AND WOLVES LIVE." Brian asked that he think about it. Later that evening a discussion came up of what the hike would entail. Jake listened most intently and then concluded to Brian, "Mmmmm, NATURE IS JUST NOT MY THING!" We tried to stifle our giggles. Trying to convince Jake that it would be a great adventure... we were explaining how you would go the bathroom in the wilderness, you know, find a log to hang over, dig a whole, do your business and then bury your tp... Jake with a disgusted look on his face, shaking his head oh so violently stated, "WHY DO WE WANT TO DO THIS?!?" LOL
Sam had his first belt test on Friday. He was testing for a yellow belt. We will find out Wednesday if he made it. We didn't know what to expect. Sam and I found out it involved a lot of waiting and watching. It was very official. I think he was rather nervous, but he did great. I was very proud of him. If you ask him what he remembers about it, it is that mom made banana pie to celebrate. He was starving the whole time we were there and that made it harder to concentrate.
