Xander's Scout Trip

From December 31st to January 2nd Xander was away on a scout Orienteering Camp out. Although I was a bit nervous to have him gone, he was so over-the-top excited about it and he ended up having a blast. Thursday night they camped out in the backyard of one of the leaders and then  Friday they headed down to DC for some orienteering and sightseeing, staying in a hotel down there and then returning home late Saturday after more wandering around the capital.
One of the leader's wives was kind enough to post some pictures of the boys in DC. They hit some of the Smithsonian museums...

and saw some of our most important buildings and monuments.

Obviously there was A LOT of walking that went on and many of the boys were worn out. It's nice to see that Xander was able to keep his head up!

This meal was one of his favorite parts of the trip!

I asked Xander to send me his pictures of the things that he most enjoyed seeing. Here's what I got: the Lincoln Memorial...

the White House...

the Capitol...

and a statue of Martin Luther King Jr.

And of course I love his selfie with the Washington Monument!
