Sasquatch!

Jackson is going to tell a story about scout camp: This summer I went to Boy Scout Camp. Our boy scout leaders (including my dad) warned us several times that there had been bear sightings close to our camp. One night we went for a walk with night vision goggles to look at deer. It was pitch black outside. After we had been walking for a while, Brother Nelson stopped to tie his shoe and never caught back up with us. A couple minutes later we heard a grunting noise in the meadow. We were looking through the night vision goggles and saw a big black creature waving its long arms around. We were scared to death! We thought it was a grizzly bear. Then the creature started crawling on the trail. My friend said he was so scared he was going to pee his pants! We couldn't see any grizzly bear cubs, so then we thought the creature wasn't a bear. The creature picked up a big log and threw it towards us. Soon after, my friend Garrett recognized his dad dressed up in a Sasquatch costume. We had been punked! I have never been so scared in my life!


Here are a couple more pictures from Jackson's Scout Camp.

The more stories I hear about the things that go on at Scout Camp, the more I am convinced that Angels work overtime whenever there is a scout camp going on. I would have been terrified with a big hairy thing in the woods! Too funny!

Tell Jackson that was a great story! Looks like they had a great time at camp. We had a similar experience at girls camp with Steve and a gorilla suit...but I don't want to talk about it :)(ha,ha)
