Kevin and Corbin's annual Boulder trip

Corbin's partner in crime, his cousin Tyson.  Upon returning from the camping trip Corbin got to stay at Tyson's for 3 days.  He talked Tyson into having a "garage sale" with Tyson's toys, pokemon (sp?) cards, etc. and then splitting the money.  I wonder who got the raw deal on that?  Corbin said they lost some of their profit when Tyson's dog, Ruby, ran off down the road to a lemonade stand and helped herself to a few chocolate chip cookies.  They had to reimburse the lemonade stand kids for the cookies.  

This must be one of the first days because he is clean.

It's pictures like this that just make my stomach drop (lighter fluid in one hand, matches in the other).  I know things go on during this camping trip that I don't want to know about, but do you blame me for being nervous?  Smokey the Bear would be so disappointed.  By the way, this is considered cheating in my book.  Aren't boy scouts supposed to start fires without lighter fluid,... by someone who is of appropriate age?  
My man.

Corbin and Grandpa
Kevin and Corbin
Looks pretty!  Someday I'm going to try float tubing.  Thanks to Jake, I will remember to walk backwards into the water with my flippers on.  There are no accidents, only learning experiences.  

I usually have a group picture to post, but one was not taken.  Kevin did however manage to make sure to take a picture of an Uncle (who will remain unnamed, but whose name rhymes with tryin') baring his behind from miles away.  Thank heavens for that zoom button, huh? BOYS!

Looks like they had fun. Good job kev for getting the "important" stuff on camera. lol. I like the one with Corbin getting the fire starting kit. In troop 395 we called it boy scout fluid.

Such a cute post Tiffany. Tyson LOVES having Corbin here...they had a total blast together! I am pretty sure Corbin did not get half of the profits on this deal....and I was very glad to be rid of the Pokemon cards! We miss you guys already and had such a great time. I have one of Corbins shirts...so I will get that mailed to you...and some cash so you can't turn it down!! ha ha

I always love your posts. The "boy scout fluid" would make me nervous too. Is Kevin on the other end taking the picture? He probably set that one up for your benefit! Thanks for not posting the picture of the unnamed Uncle.

Looks like a fun trip. That is nice that they get to have that bonding time with all the dads, brothers, cousins, uncles, and grandpa.
