Cub Scout Camp Weekend

While the girls were in Mexico City visiting family and celebrating SuperLita's (Great Grandmother) 95th Birthday!! the boys headed out to Cub Scout camp in Cannon Falls MN. 

We caravanned up with our Den, stopped at Subway for dinner, arrived at camp Friday night and got settled in.  We unpacked, got a tour of the camp and watched the older Boy and Girl Scouts("the Counselors") do some skits in front of the campfire.

That night we slept in our tent and I was awoken at about 1AM by some powerful thunderstorms, which continued on until about 9AM the next morning. This made for a wet beginning of our first day....but being scouts we were prepared and had our ponchos, so stayed relatively dry.


Saturday and Sunday was spent packed full of activities! To name a few:

• Nature
• Fitness (obstacle course and Finger Fencing)
• Swimming
• Ballistics
• BB Guns
• Skills(whittling) - just a minor cut....but Isaac earned his Whittling Chip!
• Archery
• Sports
• Wall/Rock Climbing
• Boating was closed due to the high water levels from the storms!

There was also some free time to do what ever we liked and more campfire time Saturday night.   It was a great experience, Isaac and I had a lot of fun, learned a lot and got to know the boys and their parents a lot better!  Can't wait until next yr.
