I have a very, very cute Tiger scout. Hes so proud of his uniform and insists that he even has to wear the thick wool boot socks, even when its warm out.
Maben is a legacy. Matt made it all the way, he earned his Eagle Scout. Something that he is very proud of. Its something that we hope both of our boys will accomplish.
Now, this isnt our first camping trip as a family, Colorado was. But, this was our first cub scout camp out! The weather was amazing and the park was great. We camped out at Buescher State Park. It was very nice. Tent pads, bathrooms with electricity, showers and hot water (I felt pampered). There is also a small lake that we could fish at.
Maben was very excited to go fishing and since the last time we went, it was a bust, we had to go again. I was very proud of my little scout. He learned how to bait his own hook, not well, but its progress. He can cast very well and managed to catch a small fish on his own and reel it in!
He caught this little thing. Isnt this super cute? I also took the opportunity to explain why there are fishing regulations and couldnt eat this little thing. It needed to go back in the lake and grow into a bigger fish.
There was also pumpkin carving. I actually let Maben use the little saw all by himself after a little instruction on how to use it.
I was super nervous watching. I have been teaching Maben knife safety and how to even begin cutting things in the kitchen. He did great!
This was also his first time cleaning out a pumpkin. Just days (seriously, days before) he looked at me with a horrified face when I was cleaning out our pumpkins for Halloween. Oh well.
This is Mabens proud creation. He drew the pattern himself and cut most of it out (the top and eyes). The little cheap pumpkin saw started to bend so we asked me to do the mouth so it wouldnt break. It broke anyways.
Colton didnt want anything to do with the pumpkins other than telling me he wanted me to carve a t-rex.
He loved it! I am pretty proud of my t-rex. I didnt even have cell service to look up a photo of one before drawing it out.
While this has been the first camp out with scouts, it wont be our last. It was a lot of great fun and we look forward to doing it again in the spring.
And one last photo, since I realized (and this always happens) as we were leaving that I wasnt in a single photo, I had to get one with my little scout.
