October 19 - Cub Scout Family Camp

Skyler joined cub scouts! He's in 3rd grade, so he's a Bear Cub. Aww. Last weekend was the Fall Family campout, & Dale & I got to go along.

Frosty noses, yellow leaves, pumpkin carving, hikes, cooking over the fire, dump cake, camp songs ("Here we sit like birds in the wilderness, birds in the wilderness, birds in the wilderness...") & tug of war against the bigger Boy Scouts (we won 9 out of 10 rounds!).

Skyler said best of all was the Fire Bowl Saturday night. With the magically lit jack o'lantern way, & many silly songs & skits, great leadership & lots of laughs.

I love that through this opportunity he has a group of community leader men as mentors, who model respect, preparation, kindness, honesty, reverence & about 8 other key points (I don't have to memorize 'cause I'm just the mom). We are so blessed!
