I'm starting this blog with a comment I posted on the MindStretch Travel Adventures facebook page. I figured I would re-state this here.
Our trip to the Colorado Rockies has been back exactly one month and I didn’t want to miss another day before reporting on something I learned by spending 12 days with 17 boys. Kids can amaze you. I’ll have to say I was a little worried about having so many older boys (ages 14-15) along as helpers. I figured that they would be the ones I had to keep “under control” during our adventure. Well I’m here to tell you that my faith in teenagers – or at least these teenagers – was 100% restored. Those boys were fantastic. My thanks to Mark Gilbert (4 trips), Stephen Baker (3 trips), Tom McNichols (3 trips), Jack Lozyniak (2 trips) and Lucas May (2 trips). You guys were great. And guess what…just about all of them are coming back next summer. I’m pumped!
