Jayson is dead to the world!

Both Dave and Jayson are at WASHJAM. This is the State wide Boy Scout Jamboree. They are on Ft. Lewis along with about 3,000 other scouts from around Washington. It is neat that it is practically in our very own backyard. It is literally 6 minutes from the house. It looks like Jayson is all tuckered out from all the fun activities. Sasha and I get to go help cook out there on Sunday for lunch and dinner. It should be a lot of fun. I will definitely have some tired and smelly folks when Dave and Jayson come home on Sunday night. Can't wait to see them.

L to R: Ron Hjelm, Ryan Harrington, Malik Serrano, Len Castro, Jonah Hjelm, Heath Dooley, Daniel Tomlinson, and Dave Mathison

This picture just came from Dave this morning. He has been at Boy Scout Camp this whole week. Unfortunately, this week was the hottest week on record in the Puget Sound area since they started keeping record in the 1800's. The boys had a great time and Dave said that he did too, especially when it finally cooled off yesterday. It will be nice to have Dave home again. We really miss him when he is gone. It just isn't the same without him. He will definately get a huge nap when he gets home.
