Wind River Mountains, Zane's on his way...

Zane's been accepted into a 28 day backpacking course in the Wind River Mountains with the National Outdoor Leadership School! After applying and being accepted, he had to get a physical.

Today we're starting on scholarship applications for the course. It's expensive and has many unexpected costs (the above physical was $140!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

For all who have asked what they can get Zane for Christmas, please consider giving him an REI gift certificate or Cabella's gift certificate so he can buy gear for the course. NOLS has some very specific gear requirements. Or you can give him a little bit of cash to save toward paying for the course. Zane's Grandpa Locke and Grandma Locke have paid for a portion of the course, Zane has put $1000 of his own money toward the course (instead of a car!). I promise if you decide to send any $ to Zane for Christmas, it will be deposited in the savings account.

ON THE OTHER HAND, don't feel like you ever have to get the kid anything!!!! He has so much already.


I will post later with miscellaneous pictures that I have taken of Zane and the fam over the last month. Sorry to get behind. It's been a hectic month for me.
