The Hike, The slide.... Camping Cont......

Scoutland is actually a Boy Scout camp and they put up a neat "cub world" that keeps "younger" boys busy while Boy Scout activities are going on. Walter and Scott got back to camp after a couple hours at the bow range and Kati and I decided to take the boys up to the play set. It was pretty close to our camp and we figured it would give the guys a little quiet time after spending the afternoon with 120 cubs and their families...

It was fun watching the boys and Kati and I chatted about this and that....
Braeden went down this one slide and we about died when he came out the bottom of it! His hair stood up and was so funny! We made him do it over and over and then called Scott and Walter to come up and see. There were different people around the play set that kept asking him to do it over and over as well!
It was so funny and he loved the attention! Walter and Scott begrudgingly came up and could not imagine what we wanted them to see that was "so" important! Once they got up there and actually saw him they laughed and then we all tried it.


After the playground we went for a hike down to Council Rock.
It was great fun and because it was on the "Island" the guys went back down to the beach and hunted more spear and arrowheads.
It was getting late and we decided to take the boys back to camp and make dinner while Scott and Walter hung out for a while. Dinner was done when they got back and we enjoyed a great meal..... It was just a good day.....

Nightfall came with cooler temps than Friday night and Kati ended up spending most of the night in the van with Braeden. The poor kid was not happy at night even though he was grins all day long..... Our boys slept in the tent with Walter and Bailey and even though they fell asleep very quickly they were excited to do that!

But the place which you have selected for your camp,
though never so rough and grim,
begins at once to have its attractions,
and becomes a very centre of civilization to you:
"Home is home, be it never so homely."
~Henry David Thoreau
