Hello, friends!
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of taking the older kids to Cub Scout camp. For Ezra, it was his second trip to Camp Amikaro but this was Thaliea's first trip. One of the most fun things this past year was seeing how much Thaliea enjoyed being in the scouts. This camp definitely solidified her love for scouting.
Ezra rode a horse!
Thaliea got to participate in the camp-wide morning flag ceremony
Thaliea and another scout wrote a skit that was performed at the camp-wide campfire on Saturday night
The counselors taught the scouts a few new dances
Pool time!
Thaliea's target after our unit on shooting. She took 2 shots and decided she didn't like it, but she still took credit for the target that I shot. =0).
Ezra's target
Learning about animal habitats
Learning about static electricity
Rock climbing! Both Ezra and Thaliea made it to the top of the wall!
Hay Ride!
Thaliea really liked getting her camp shirt
Greetings from Pack 481! This is actually just half of the pack. Due to scheduling, we had to split our pack into 2 camping dates. The second group will go camping in July.
Playing games with the camp couselors!
Hanging out with Conrad, who is in the same grade as Thaliea.
Overall, it was a really great experience. The kids slept better than I thought they would (which was a blessing). Since our scout master wasn't there, I acted as the de facto leader for our crew along with another parent. At this age, all the scouts need to be accompanied by parents, so it was a lot of good collaboration.
I was joking with another parent that I hope our kids remember these fun times later in life when they're complaining about their parents. =0). It really was fun and I'm glad I get to share these memories with them.
Have an excellent day!
