Camping

Well we all went camping this weekend. Scout went on a canoe trip to the Peace River with his troop and Feret and I went to Camp Flying Eagle in Bradenton for a Cub/Parent overnighter.
Friday night I dropped of Scout at the church and then I packed the car for our trip. We met up with the other family at 7:30am on Saturday and we were on our way. When we arrived we set up our tent and had a go around. We are our bag lunch then headed off to the opening cerimonies. The theme of the event was pirates. They had all sorts of games and a treasure hunt. About 10 min after the games started the siren went off and we found out that there was a scout missing. Turns out he was with another adult and some other kids but he never told his mom. Back to the games we went. Feret made a raingutter regatta boat, a Bandanna, a parrot out of beads, a pirates belt, some leather stampings. We had a great time. He was feeling a little sick with a headache but we pulled through. We ate dinner then had some free time and he made a marshmallow shooter. Then we went to the campfire. There were lots of fun skits done by the boys. After the show we all went back to camp and built our own campfire. We roasted marshmallows and tryed to keep the boys from hurting themselves.
Sunday we ate breakfast then packed up and went to the closing cerimonies. Feret won a prize from the raffle. We started for home. I ended up dropping Feret off at Tylers and I called to see if Scout was back at the church yet. Turns out he was just pulling in so I went and picked him up and then went home to unpack.
Scout made it through the weekend without tipping the boat. And he may have saved a life out there as well. The Asst. Scoutmaster has an insulin pump and it had fallen out. As soon as he saw it Scout told him and he was very thankful. He even made a big deal about it at the meeting last night. Next week they are going to learn what to do if he ever passes out or something like that happens to anyone else they know.
All in all it was a great weekend.
