Yesterday I had to bomb down to Denver to get a new phone as mine was smashed the day before. I made it back around 2 pm and after dropping something at Lori’s office, unloaded the truck and headed out to pick up the boys.
When I arrived at school and was waiting in the carpool lane, the Director of the Middle School saw me and came over to the truck. He told me that in all the years they’ve been doing this trip, they never had the guides compliment a kid. He said that not only one, but two guides said what a great kid Jagger was. Apparently he was the first one to jump in if any help was needed and was always there to assist. Next up his Homebase (homeroom) teacher came over and basically said the same thing. She said Jagger was awesome. When they were pulling rafts out of the water only a small group of kids helped and Jagger led the way and as soon as he had one raft out, he went back for the next one. She too was quite impressed. When I told this to Lori, she said, “huh, we are good parents”! Ty meanwhile was on his hike and was equally impressive. Apparently he led the way in jumping in and dunking his whole body in the frigid lake for 5 Starburst candies and 5 gummy bears. Guess he did this twice and after he led the way, the other kids followed!
Jag’s trip was great and I’m sure he’ll share some details with you all when you next talk to him. This morning after we drop the kids, I’m driving Lori over the pass to Frisco to get her drivers license. I have lots to do today as I leave tomorrow morning for my 4 day hunting trip. It’s cool and raining here this morning which is nice. Hope all’s well, we’ll be in Denver next week for the 3 day weekend. We need to scrape up enough cash to buy Jag a computer, it never stops. We just found out he needs a new laptop for school. They give Ty a Chrome Book today so we get a break there. That’s it, take care and God Bless.
