On our first night at camp, it was raining and miserable. But we are a determined Den, we managed to start a fire on the first night, with the overly soaked firewood... I believe we were the butt of a few jokes such as "want to see something funny, the wolves are trying to start a fire... " But, nobody had any issue with warming up next to our fire...
We then made our way back to the main cabin for lunch.. . We had grilled cheese, or grilled ham sandwhiches... very good!! The boys learned to play chess while we waited.
On the hike back to the cabin, it started to snow.
Friday night, we did some crafts, played flashlight tag, and had Marshmallow Olympics... Great sport.
On Saturday, we had a wonderful breakfast of Eggs. Then we headed back to our cabin to learn some knot tying... a couple of the dads did a great job of trying to teach the boys... In fact, the boys spent a lot of time tying the bunks together for the rest of the weekend.
After about an hour of Knot tying, we decided to have an obstical course for the boys... They loved it.... They had to low crawl under a door, use puddle hoppers to walk across the cabin, climb up a bunk, hop across a couple other bunks, jump two walls then pop a balloon... it was a lot of fun.
We then made our way back to the main cabin for lunch.. . We had grilled cheese, or grilled ham sandwhiches... very good!! The boys learned to play chess while we waited.
Then it was off to the BB-Gun range. Of course, it was raining AGAIN...
On the hike back to the cabin, it started to snow.
Saturday night, we retired an American Flag, and Logan taught the boys the proper way to respect the flag. The next morning we collected the grommets.
The boys thought we were funny for the closing ceremonies, we were running late on cleaning our cabin, so the boys and I took off running to the main cabin for closing. We ran through the shortcut, which just happened to have another Boy Scout Troop that was having a meeting.. We sounded like a heard of elephants stomping through. When we emerged at the main cabin, the whole pack was watching us run up... but hey, at least we made it...
We went home within the hour, all the boys wished we could stay longer. Guess we will all be back next year.
