Survival Practice

We went camping with the Lewis Family and the trip ended up to be our survival practice. Bishop Lewis decided to try to start a fire with a magnify glass to see if he could actually do it if he had to. The first two rows of photos are of the "big boys" playing with fire and accomplishing a huge fire started with only the magnify glass, flint steel and sticks of coarse. Good Job boys!!

They also took the kids on a hike to the top of a peak with a mirror to see if Jana and I could see the reflection and spot were they were from camp. It was pretty cool to see how bright the flash of light was with the mirror when it hit the sun just right. I guess now they know how to be found if they get lost as long as it's a sunny day anyway!

The third row of pictures are of the kids on a scripture scavenger hunt. Jana and I made up a scavenger hunt using scriptures as clues and the kids got a big bag of treats at the end. They had fun and Jana and I had fun putting it all together.

The picture of the hand is for the Stewart kids to remember not to touch cactus. We broke out the first aid kids a few times to pull cactus needles out of hands! Not Fun!!!

Next is a picture of Chase teaching us how to make all the colored parts of our eyes disappear. I guess this could be useful in scaring anything or anyone away! Ha Ha

The last two pictures are of a hut and a sand village that the kids built. They spent alot of time on making them and had alot of fun doing it also.

So I guess if it came to the Stewart's and the Lewis's having to survive in the wild we would do fine as long as we had our trailers full of food and water! Thanks Lewis Family for another fun camping trip!
