Snow Camp

Mason and a group of the Young Men had snow cam a couple weeks ago. He was so excited to go - the boys were going to be building snow caves and sleeping in them :) sounds like good times right?!? So his pack was full and I don't know how h even managed to carry the thing...the week wass the slowest ever according to him, but Saturday finally came and we dropped him off at Lopez's house at 5am for them to take off to Happy Jack, AZ. The boys were supposed to be gone all day Saturday, stay Saturday night and have sacrament meeting and testimony meetingup there and then come hom, but with a storm advisory coming in after they left, I guess plans changed. They got a TON of snow. The snow cave was well made according to Mason but he and Wyatt were squished and were up against the edges so they got wet...they got out of the cave and set up everything outside near the fire (their sleeping bags and tarps) and then it started snowing :( They managed to get into one of the cars and slept in there for the night, then set their things next to the fire to try get them dry. I guess the boys were a little cold in the morning and they had a bonfire...Mason's shoes were a little too close and they got burned, along with his jacket :( They also found their cars buried so instead of hanging around for a meeting they dug themseslves out and headed back home. Mason said it was the most miserable time ever...but he had a smile on his face the WHOLE time he told us about it AND they are planning on going again...so whatever!!!
