My son...the "Survivor"...

Well, tonight was church. The boys are both involved in Royal Rangers. And I have to say that we have one of the best programs out there. We have such dedicated leaders with such a passion for our kids. I am just in awe of all my boys have learned and how much they've grown spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically over the years they've spent in Rangers.

Evan is in the Expedition Rangers...the oldest group and he is doing so many neat things. They have been working on a backpacking merit and survival skills. Tonight they built survival shelters out in the woods back behind the church and then talked about survival kits.

They later had a "trivia" game of sorts to see how much they remembered from what they were learning and awarding prizes for each question answered correctly. As it turns out...Evan joked that they had to "cut him off", LOL, because he kept getting all the correct answers. LOL! I told him, "Gee Ev, if only you could remember as much in Algebra as you do in Rangers!" LOL! Anywho...he came home with an armfull of prizes. He earned three neat survival items that he can take to their next campout...a canteen, hand-warmers, and an emergency blanket.

We were pretty proud of him!!! Good job Ev!!!
