A couple days after returning to Hibbing, Isaac was off to Boy Scout Camp. Here Isaac is with his good friend, Wil Maki (far right) as they are getting ready to head out Saturday (7/12/08) morning.

We are very blessed to have an extremely active Boy Scout group in Hibbing that almost annually produces Eagle Scouts. Here were the eleven scouts and three adult leaders that were heading off to Camp Tomahawk near Rice Lake, Wisconsin (north of Eau Claire).

The very next day, Emily and Erica were off to Camp Arrowhead, our church's summer camp on Lake Esquagama near Biwabik, MN. They were each going to be in different cabins this year. They both decided to bring bedding and quilts instead of sleeping bags this year. Last night (Monday), a big storm went through their area, with potential tornadoes. We were told that they all had left their cabins and went to the main Fellowship Hall on site for protection during the storm. Tornado sirens rang in Hibbing also. Was wondering if any of these storms found their way to the scouting area where they we sleeping in open sites that were sheltered from rain, but had to have misquito netting over their entire body to protect from the nasty little creatures.
