Snow campout and Gila Idol

Last night, Ben went with his scout group up to Mt. Graham for a snow campout. He was very excited. He just got home, his face covered in chocolate from the chocolate-covered doughnuts from this morning and the s'mores from last night. Hmmm. They stayed at Twilight. They weren't as cold as they were at the Camporee. Ben said he was toasty warm in his new sleeping bag. They played capture the flag until 10:30 and went to bed around midnight. He went with his friend Kale to watch the sunrise. He didn't get enough sleep, so I know he's going to be crashed on the couch in a bit. They ate breakfast then went to go play in the snow. He looks tired. I think I will do my homework in the other room, so he can sleep on the couch while he watches the Disney channel.

Last night was the Gila Idol audition that the store sponsored. Last year when Richard's sponsored it, they had it at the bowling alley which worked out great because it was a wide open space (the years before we had it outside in front of the store in the cold). It's great for the bowling alley because people eat or get a soda or stay afterward to bowl. It works out good for everybody. Last night, Chris did a headcount. There were around 300 people there with about 130 cars in the parking lot. It was a great turnout. While I was there I went out to the car and fell in a hole in the parking lot. I am such a clutz. But it really isn't a surprise.
