So a few weeks ago I was called to be an assistant Den Leader for Tanner's pack. So for our first activity we went on a hike in a small canyon by our house. The boys were very nervous (scared:) of seeing rattlesnakes. I kept telling them it was fine and that there was nothing to worry about. I was wrong.
Tanner spotted it first, and I will say that the boys were very safe and far from the snake. They refused to pass it even clear on the other side of the trail. One of the boys commented on how Rebekah was the bravest one there because she had no problems passing the snake. It really was kind of funny.
Michael, Tanner, and Cole before the hike. Smiling obviously they haven't seen the snake yet.
Luke's first hike.
During the hike, if you notice Rebekah is ahead of everyone else. She refuses to let anyone beat her on a hike. She loves to be in the lead and she loved showing off for the boys, I think I got a preview of years to come, :(.
And after the hike, notice the boys are not quite as smiley. Not only did they see a snake but they also got beat by a girl. Tough night.
The hike really pooped him out. He was out like a light. It was pretty cute.
Afterwards we took the boys for some ice cream. McDonalds hot fudge sundaes will make anything better.

oh my gosh!! That would have freaked me out. I will have to show these pictures to Grant and Gavin. They will get a kick out of it. I wish Grant's leader would take him on a hike!
