We attended our annual Cub Scout camp Sunday-Tuesday. This year I insisted that Mike come since they boys would be heading off for the day in opposite directions. Ben was trilled to have HIS friends along this year. The first day we had to pass a swim test so the boys could swim the lake during the camp. If we wanted to take the boys out on the lake in the canoes we, the parents, needed to pass the test as well. So, in 50* water I gamely jumped in, lost my breath and swam the required 25 yds until I could get out. Ben jumps in and can't get his breath so he's doggy paddling across the lake going "uh, uh, uh, uh.....chatter, chatter, chatter...). Poor kid.
They got to throw tomahawks which they enjoyed, as well as the usual archery and BB guns. The second night we had some pretty severe winds which in a tent that is barely even there was interesting. The wind would blow and the tent flags would bang against your cot and the whole tent would billow out and in, out and in. The kids were off around camp with their friends during the down time and you'd only see them when they needed snacks or something. They had a great time and Mike and I survived another year.
