Home and exhausted!
Son and I had a great time!
After getting to camp after dinner time Friday evening we got the boys squared away and all the gear organized. First chore for the kids was getting a fire going for making campfire treats. The boys love "smacos" which is a Smores but made in a flour tortilla shell wrapped in tin foil and placed on hot coals or elevated heat.
After snacks was one of my infamous night hikes. Kids always get a kick out of looking through NVG's and making Bigfoot calls in the woods. Its usually a 2 mile hike but this group was a little tired so we cut it a little short but not before putting out some solid wood knocks and howls that echoed through the river valley we were in!
Saturday started with breakfast cooked by the boys, pancakes and sausage!
After breakfast we decided that instead of splitting into dens that we would stay as the group but work on different things.
We usually invite siblings and parents out for the day on saturdays so that they can see what we do and to participate as well. It always goes over really well!
Younger scouts and siblings on one of the river crossings!
Kids learned to build fire reflectors...
They even got to enjoy some quiet time!
To finish off parents and siblings visiting for the day we treated them to pulled pork and mac n' cheese for dinner.
Once we were back to dads and the boys we made strawberry cobbler, it was raining good at this point so the Russian Rain Cape got put to use, and we finish the night teaching tightening and hitching knots.
This morning was a quick breakfast and cleaning up to head home. I'm always exhausted after these weekends but the results are always well worth it! Thanks for following along gang!
