Scout Camp

I had the opportunity of chaperoning Dylan’s Scout Camp this year.

I have to say, that it was a lot of fun. Yes it was hot and sticky and I wish I had brought more Diet Coke. {{two was not enough}} But Dylan and I had some quality bonding time and it was nice to get to know his friends better.

They put up with my mandatory photo ops. {{mostly}}

Fished.

Played cowboy horseshoes. Which got a little too competitive at one point. Who ever thought that giving 9 year old boys toilet seats to chunk around a field was a good idea – obviously doesn’t have a 9 year old boy. {{just sayin’}}

Shot BB guns.

Panned for gold.

Herding a cow. Yes the boys were the cow.

I’m really proud of Dylan and what a good friend he is to the boys. He’s been working on letting other people stick up for themselves and not being such a right fighter. Which is really hard for him due to his tender heart.
Dylan is growing up to be such a responsible and caring young man. I couldn’t be prouder of him for overcoming his trials and finding the bright side in life.
