For this year's snow campout we decided to do a three day trip like last year but to spend the first night in a cabin and the second night in snow caves. We had a blast! The trip started off a little rough because the hidden key that we were suppose to use to get into the cabin was gone and so we had to break into the cabin with a screw driver. Once we got that behind us we were able to enjoy the trip. We did our junior leadership training in the cabin and then played in the snow near Sunrise Lake for the rest of the time. We spent several hours on Friday building snow caves. The younger scouts decided to not sleep in the caves but to go back to the cabin. While the varsity scouts decided to rough it in the caves. They actually only made it about half the night and then gave up to sleep in the even colder van. So the assistant scoutmaster and I were the only ones who actually slept in the caves the whole night (and quite comfortably at that). The boys learned that they needed to have more insulation underneath them. They learned the next day that the other troop that was there had put straw underneath their sleeping bags. We will have to give it another shot next year. Enjoy the pictures.

So where did Kaylee stay or how did she do it with all of the babies by herself? I know I would have gone crazy!
