Cub Scout Camp

Our family has had a fun - AND EXHAUSTING - weekend camping with JD's cub scout pack.  We arrived and set up camp on Friday evening.

 First light Saturday morning the boys were practicing their casting skills.  Our tent was only steps of this beautiful lake and so fishing was the first order of business.

 George was our camp cook and prepared breakfast for us.

 The official events started with the morning assembly and flag raising.

 George taught a fishing class.  I helped people sign in and check out fishing poles.  That was the deal we made -- I will help with duties that don't involve touching worms. YUK!

 He tried to help the Wang family and showed them to bait a hook.  It is amazing how many grown ups had NEVER fished before.  I said I wasn't going to touch worms - but after watching some of these people try to bait a hook I almost wanted to snatch their worms away and do it myself.

 By the afternoon class JD was a casting pro.  He was very excited when I thought we had a fish but totally made fun of me when all I had caught was the bottom of the lake.

 Evening assembly involved dinner and skits.

 Here is JD and his den doing the invisible bench skit.

 Sunday morning JD and our next door neighbor said good bye to the ducks.

 Closing ceremonies involved a lovely 15 minute "church" service that George thought was the way all church services should be.  Short, sweet and with the lake in the background.

 I taught a Geography class to these willing Tiger cubs.  Here they are playing simon says on a map of the world they drew with sidewalk chalk.

One last picture of the lake and then it was back home to unpack and shower.
