Our Camping adventure was so much fun! Hot as it was, it cooled down enough on Friday night to be comfortable!
We enjoyed setting up camp, watching everyone arrive and helping others get situated! The boys were excited as each other boy arrived and they had a very good time at the camp ground!
This weekend was a special one because the boys advanced in their rank in Cub Scouts. In their new rank we are looking forward to a very exciting year of scouting with many adventures happening around them!
Our boys had their Nana and Grandpa as well as Mr. X and Pamela come to see them advance! After the wonderful ceremony that KS did for them, we went back to camp for a short time and then went to a snake show that the park put on.
All the boys enjoyed swimming in the lake and hanging out at the campsites.
One very special moment happened that could have turned very tragic. Two brothers had problems in the water shortly after all 11 boys got in. The father of the boys went after the oldest boy, never seeing that his youngest one was also in trouble. Qman was the first to get to the little boy, holding him up out of the water until an adult could get to him. Qman bobbed up and down, taking a breath and then going under to hold the little boy, who is nearly as heavy as him, up so that the little boy did not go under. Qman deserves props for never thinking anything other than the little boy was in trouble and he needed to do something. When I asked him if he realized what he had done he said "All I did was hold him up because he could not swim"..... The father got the oldest of the two boys out and it was not until much later that day did he even realize that both his boys were so very lucky that day! Kudos to my oldest son!

To say i am proud of you is a understatement.You have truly shown what your made of. As time goes on you will realize how truly special your helping a person out is.You will get to carry that knowledge with you the rest of your life.You will always stand a little straighter an taller because of what you have done.
