Jude has been waiting so many years to go backpacking. He decided that Ivy is finally old enough to go, so he planned an overnight trip with just he and Ivy. He researched it all out and invited a few guys in the ward with daughters about Ivy's age. Only two were man enough! They ended up having to change their plans at the last minute because it snowed in the Sierra's on Thursday and so they went up near Oroville somewhere. I guess it was awesome. They had so much fun! Ivy loves to camp and was a good sport the whole time. She came home so excited to tell us all about everything they saw and did. They can't wait to go again. Lane was sad and cried about it for 3 days or so when he heard he couldn't go, so Jude is planning to take him somewhere, too, but it might have to wait until next year. What an awesome dad! Way to go, Jude! Even Scarlett was jealous. She kept saying that she wanted to go camping, too. I love it! I am so happy that Jude finally has someone to share his love of camping and backpacking with (and that the trips don't have to always include me.)
