C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E

This past weekend, George and Andrew headed out on a scout camping trip.  Since Andrew is a Webelo, this camping trip was with his group and the Boy Scouts.  It rained all day Thursday and late Thursday night, early Friday morning it turned to snow.  Originally they were calling for 3-6 inches, but it ended up only being about 2.  But, camping in the snow is not my idea of a good time. :)  Good thing I'm a girl.

They loaded up and headed out

They said it was really cold at night, but fortunately they had a lot of sunshine and a warmer, albeit windy day. 
The scouts slept in the adirondacks (I thought those were a type of chair only. :) ) and the parents slept in tents.

Getting their cooking area set up...the Webelos listening to directions from the Boy Scouts.

The boys were responsible for the cooking and clean up with guidance from the parents.

Good thing he gets practice at home doing dishes to know what to do. :)

One of the things they did was a ceremony to retire an American flag that included a ceremony. They hiked and worked with compasses and also performed skits with their patrols around the campfire at night.

They had a great time!
