We had a great Thursday night camping out with the Smiths and Newmans. We decided that since Dexter hasn't had a scout camp yet we would consider this trip scout camp. He was able to pass off a couple of requirements for his First Class Scout badge. He learned how to pitch a tent, build and start a fire, and split firewood. We worked very hard and he was exhausted when bed time came around.
Paw Paw took all of the boys fishing. They caught a brown trout which Paw Paw cooked over the fire, then they all ate it. Afterward we were all delighted to hear several rounds of "Fish Heads" from Max, Dex & Rex.
I have to claim temporary insanity because I let Max and Dex sleep by themselves in a small tent next to the creek. I didn't sleep well that night with worries that Dex would wake up and end up in the creek. Every noise woke me up all night long. We all survived and the boys really had a great time.
The boys loved to chase around and take pictures of the black and white bunny that roamed the campground during the day. During the night there was another black and white visitor. I am relieved that the boys didn't chase that creature around.
On Friday afternoon almost everyone went swimming in the creek. Since I didn't bring swimming suits for the boys, they swam in their underpants. They had a ball!! Maxwell was determined to be the first to sit and lay down in the water. Then completely immerse himself in the freezing creek. Apparently this encouraged others, because soon after PawPaw worked up the courage to get all the way in too.
We had such a fun time and we are so glad that Jer and Karla invited us.
