A great time was had by all at the Pack 559 2012 summer excursion to Magness Adventure Camp near Kiowa, Colorado.

It took a little while to pry him loose

We were wondering if this was a fire - but no
Gorgeous sunset over the camp.

Aunt Shirley with Mollie's Diary

Our Aunt Shirley has come to visit, and she has brought with her the original of Mollie Dorsey Sanford's diary from 1857 to 1888 to donate to the Littleton History Museum. Mollie is Jon and Ben's great-great-great grandmother, and came to Colorado in 1858. She married Byron North Sanford in 1860, and Byron served valiantly with the Union forces in the Battle of Glorieta Pass: the "Gettysburg of the West." We enjoyed reading how Byron was eight hours late to his own wedding, because he had to ride 50 miles to get his and Mollie's marriage license, and by the time he got there the office was closed. Mollie endured those hours in remarkable good humor, and her diary recounts the story in humorous detail.

This has been our family's first year to enjoy the "Cherry Knolls Swim Team" experience. Ben loved the competition and camaraderie, and the rest of our family enjoyed the social scene - even during 100-degree days.
