Cub Scout Day Camp

When I was a kid I remember my brothers going to this amazing Cub Scout day camp every summer, and at the end of it I would get to go and shoot a bow and arrow and do other fun stuff. I was so excited when Mason turned 8 and could go to Scout camp...but then very disappointed when I discovered that no one in MN had any idea what I was talking about. So imagine my delight when I realized we would be in OR for their annual day camp--I'm certain I was more excited than Mason was. :)

After day 1 he was more excited than I ever could have hoped for him! They made bucket seats that they carried everywhere with them, shot BB guns and bows & arrows every day, along with a bunch of other stuff. I think he came home with 4 belt loops and half of his Bear requirements completed. :)

I took all 5 kids for the last day of camp (Stephen was away at a conference and I am crazy...), and Sammy and Elise loved it. I kept Trevor in the back pack and Lincoln in the stroller for most of it.

 

Knot tying was kind of frustrating, but mostly fun. :)

Sammy was so funny on the obstacle course ^^^...Mason had told us how some boys kept "accidentally" slipping into the kiddie pool so one of the leaders put an alligator in it. Sammy is trying to decide whether or not the alligator is real. One can't be too careful, you know!
