Life As We Live It.....: I Gavin Brown, Promise….

To do my best, to do my duty, to God & my country, to help other people and to obey the Law of the Pack! Gavs will be turning 8 in a week, and had his visit with his Wolf Den Leader. He was excited! We found out that since his birthday is on July 1st, a week before they scheduled Cub Scout Camp, they are inviting him to join at the camp. So, naturally, that means I was invited to join…..and help drive! It was fun. I sometimes do miss all those sweet little guys that I used to have in my Pack when I was the leader. They sure are getting bigger. :{

So, we went to camp and they had a bunch of different stations for the boys, all set around the theme of teamwork. At one station they were to build the largest tower they could with a bunch of pvc pipes of different sizes. Another couple involved ropes and tug-o-war, and being blindfolded and having to walk across a “mine field” and not get blown up, listening to your friends instructions. They even had water up there and canoes for the boys to paddle in! Of course, I couldn’t turn down the invitation when I was asked if I wanted a chance to canoe! I pushed Amy into going with me (against her better judgement), and I think she’s happy she did! It was so funny! We seemed to struggle with our sense of direction when paddling with oars! For some reason we kept ending up beached! The last fun station we were at, I’m not sure what the term for it is. Basically it was where everyone stood in a circle holding fabric which resembles that of a trampoline and the whole team (with the help of a few adults), tosses one kid at a time up and down like a trampoline. Some of those boys really hit air! It was awesome! When we got into the car to drive back home, I smiled as they exclaimed, one at a time “Scout camp was way more fun that I thought it would be! I had so much fun!” It was very cute!
