The first campout of the year was the annual freeze out at the Laxton's farm in Smithville right above the lake. We had a change of plans with the location at the last minute due to the recent rain and mud so Lonnie and Steven Laxton worked hard to provide this place at the last minute. We got there and set up camp around 6:30 p.m. on Friday night and couldn't get a fire built fast enough. It was about 28* F that night and around 23* F the next morning. Everybody came very well prepared for the cold weather but some boys still chose to sleep by the fire most of the night. Just like last year, when you open the water bottles in the morning they would start to freeze and a couple of the boys ate frozen fruit for breakfast. Everybody was in charge of their own food and there were 5 adults and 11 boys that attended. We broke camp and left around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday morning after some of the boys walked down to the lake. Thanks to all the adults that came and/or helped with rides. Also a big thanks for the Laxton's for letting us camp there and providing the most important part....the firewood.
Adults that attended: Corey Stuart, Darin Payne, Aaron Creighton, Randy Brewer, and Andrew Kastello
Boys that attended: Harrison Hale, Bryce Caten, Steven Laxton, Christian Benitez, Daniel Kastello, Noah Thornton, Ethan Stuart, Kade Stone, Saylor Wilson, Cole Millard, and Brandon Peterson
