Cub Scout Day Camp 2011

My big boys just finished a week of Cub Scout Day Camp. For Chase, this was his 3rd and final year, and for Avery, this was his first year. So, it was the only year they were able to attend together; and by all reports, they were inseparable buddies! I'm so glad they have each other! Each day of the camp they rotate between activities in the areas of Sports, Crafts, Nature & Science, Games, Archery/BB Guns, and Scout Skills. They also build a mini rocket and launch it on the last day of camp. They are outside all day long, which explains the redness you see in the pictures above. Overall, they had great weather, great friends, and great leaders to go with all the great activities. I love to hear what they learn about at camp each day!

I usually like to be a parent volunteer for at least one of the days. This year that was impossible for me, since I had a new baby and a recovering husband at home. But somehow I managed to do drop-off and pick-up every day, so I could feel like I was still a small part of the daily events! Believe me, that was no small feat in itself, considering our circumstances right now. And now that this week is done, I can breathe a sigh of relief that next week I no longer have to juggle transportation to and from Cub Camp with the baby's schedule (or complete lack thereof) and with Nate's doctor's appointments and with Courtney's playdates and with everything else I have to do to keep from drowning in chaos. Phewsh! Praying for a quieter week next week . . . . :)
