Hello, readers (should there be any of you left).
This blog thing ain't for procrastinators. I'll tell you that right now.
Every summer for the past three summers, I've sent Ian to war. The Civil War. He goes to a week-long program at Camp Floyd, which is west of Utah Lake. It is an old Civil War-era camp that once housed an army regiment sent to Utah by the president. Their mission was to prevent Brigham Young's band of polygamist wives from invading and plundering the well-guarded Jell-O mines in Lehi.
I'm a little fuzzy on my history, but I think that's the gist of what happened. In any case, Ian attends this every year where he learns history, performs drills, and participates in mock battles.
These are scenes from last summer's camp, as he prepares in a few weeks to attend his last one.
