Carbon Glacier Hike 2017


























Cannon and Phil were able to go with the Scout Troop on a hike to Carbon Glacier. I think the hike was going to be around 20 miles, but due to full camps and a little back tracking they hiked around 26 miles. Cannon was pretty tired when they made it back, but had a great time. The lake they jumped into was so cold coming off the glacier, but everyone jumped in. Cannon found the spot that if he jumped in it would be the easiest and fastest way out so he wasn't in for long.

Combs Family Reunion 2017

Aaron and Jenny were in charge of the family reunion this year. It was more like an adventure camp. We had tons of great activities to keep everyone entertained and busy. It is always so great to get to see everyone and spend time together.

 We started with rock climbing and treasure hunts.
 Tubing, water skiing and wake-boarding for a day two.
 Quad rides with Tim being such a great cousin and driving all the one to young to drive themselves.
 Kayaking trips. We started heading the wrong way with the tide going against us, but figure it out when about 15 minutes in we were still close to where we started.

 Phil watched Nona while I went with the morning group kayaking. He went with the later group and the weather was not great for them. The wind was strong and against them. Ruby tipped over and was soaked and cold. We picked them up earlier than originally planned, but not soon enough for everyone. We made a Dairy Queen stop and everyone seemed happy with that plan.

 Bridge jumping for those who were brave enough.

 Miya and Maggie

 Miya had girls camp so missed the first two days of the reunion. She got in around 1:00 in the morning with Phil from Bishop's night. She got up at 6:00 to go hike with Aunt Jenny, Uncle Bryce, Maggie and Ruby. The hike was hard, but she really loved it.



 Tim led the older cousins in a little cooking session making clam chowder with the clams they got earlier in the day.

Scout Camp 2017 Nisqually








This year Cannon went with the Dupont Ward to Nisqually for Scout Camp. He was able to get a ton of merit badges completed and is on track to get his Eagle rank right around 14 if he keeps going with it. He has had such great leaders and wouldn't be even close if it was all left to us.
