Ethan has gotten up early all week to go to scout day camp. He left here at 8am and didn't get back until almost 5pm! It has been beautiful warm weather and he has gotten to learn and make a lot of cool stuff. They had archery, gun practice, learned fun new games, how to kill, clean, gut & cook a fish, and have made so many neat things. He's had a busy week! After he gets home from a long day at HOT camp, he then scarfs down a bowl of cereal so he can rush off to football practice, which starts at 6pm!On Wednesday, I got to be a line leader. Me and another volunteer helped make sure our group got from station to station safely and helped out at each station. I was kind of dreading it because I knew it would be such a long day and I'm not much of a scouter, but it ended up being a lot of fun. There were a few moments of pure chaos, but for the most part I was excited to be there and I know Ethan loved having me there.
The boys thought they were so clever and funny when they made slings out of their bandanas!
Picture of a few of our boys during archery practice! This was one of the favorite stations of the day!
Ethan was pretty stoked he got TWO bullseyes!
Ethan was really good at the target practice with the guns since he has practiced at home so much with his dad.
My kids know me so well... Ethan climbed in this tree and said, "Mom... don't you want to take my picture?"
I snapped this funny pic of Malcolm right after I said... "Hey Malcolm! Give me a great smile for your mom!"
Making a treasure chest. I loved how serious and hard Ethan worked on it. He was so excited to make this and be able to bring it home.
The gutting, cleaning, and cooking of the fish was another crowd favorite. The boys LOVED it! The fish were actually alive when they started. Most of the boys tried some and actually liked it, but I'm sure you can guess that Ethan was not one of those boys... He loved watching the process though.
Thank you Melissa for watching Audrey & David all day! I heard the kids played hard outside all day and I believe it! As soon as I grabbed Davie and brought him home... I set him on the couch to watch a little Caillou and less than 5 minutes later, this is what I found!

Isn't scout camp the best! Parker's been at camp all week too. I wonder if they are at the same place. I know the shirts are the same. But I was there on Wednesday and didn't see you so probably not. And our boys didn't get to gut a fish!
Scout camps are great activities! I certainly remember them! I bet Ethan was the best with the guns! Such a cute picture of Davie. Looks a little uncomfortable, though! With older brothers and sisters, he probably doesn't get regular naps in the summertime.
Enjoy these times! Joey is dreading scout camp. He thinks he is too cool for it! He is still going...kicking and screaming, but he is going. 3 more merit badges and his eagle and we are done!
That is awesome that he went to scout camp, it looks like he had quite a bit of fun.
Truman loves caillou too. So great to have that show, but I could do without the puppet parts.
