Jack went on an overnight winter camping trip with the deacons from church. He wasn\u2019t keen to go, but I encouraged him to try it at least once, and to be a good example as the group\u2019s youth president. He ultimately decided to go, and it was definitely a learning experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camping part was cold and uncomfortable for him. He texted me that night \u201cNever been able to understand Bilbo\u2019s misery in the Hobbit more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the fishing part was fun. They went ice fishing at Pine Valley, near Conifer. He was the first to catch a fish, and the only kid to catch two fish! Here he is with his first trout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s his other catch, where he was more hands on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a rough night that I\u2019m sure \u201cbuilt character.\u201d The adult leaders said he was a great kid, he set a mature example, and he was helpful and fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s back at home this morning. After getting clean and starting laundry, I\u2019m letting him enjoy the comforts of home. I think he’s been playing Hogwarts Legacy nonstop – his latest game obsession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night Sam \u201cbabysat\u201d himself for the first time at night while Ben and I saw Ant-Man Quantumania at the Alamo with friends. Meh movie, but nice to get out for a change, and always good to see friends. Sam did great on his own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I\u2019m trying to get some 3D prints to work after not printing anything for a year or two. It’s a project request for Sam\u2019s class from the teacher. I’m semi-successful so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also dashed off to Boulder for a hip hop class. Today’s piece was set to a classic anthem by DJ Khalid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
