Ben and Mark spent last weekend camping at a Boy Scout camp about an hour from here. They had a great time! Ben loves anything to do with the outdoors and as you can see from the pictures below, spent an entire weekend immersed in "boy" activities. They even had a blacksmith there and they forged some iron and made some different pieces. Of course my sweet Ben, made me a beautiful heart, that I will try to post on here later. He was so proud handing it to me when he got home. He even burned his little finger while making it and had a pretty large blister, but he didn't mind he said.
The Indians at the top were from his project he turned in at school last week. He had to write a whole page on the Apaches and then make some kind of visual. He decided he wanted to sculpt his Indians out of clay and we were amazed at his creations. Today he only came home with one of them and when I asked Mark where the other one was he told me Ben had given the other one to a little boy in his class that is blind, named Tyler. Tyler was in Ben's class last year too and they have formed a special friendship. Ben will come home at least once a week with something that Tyler has typed on his braille typewriter for him to keep and take home.
