2017 River Rats Camp

Cole and I had our first Scout camp trip last weekend. It was COLD! It got down to 34 degrees. Cole had to crawl into my sleeping bag to stay warm. Besides it being a bit chilly for sleeping in a tent outside, the camp was fun. Cole was just one of two Tigers attending from his Den, but he stayed up until 10:00 p.m. both nights with the older kids playing Ghosts in the Graveyard.

Before getting to the camp pics, I guess I have to share that we did horrible in the Pinewood Derby. Below is the participation medal. Yuck. I already have plans for next year though.

Cole did much better in the regatta race with his Den. He came in third and tied for best looking boat.

We stopped at Subway for dinner. The bathroom here smelled as bad as the camp latrine, which smelled very bad. 

We made it! Granted it was only an hour drive.

Cole instantly went in the woods and left me to set up the tent and unpack. 

Our nice little setup. 

S'mores both nights. 

Disc golf was Cole's favorite.

Cole struggled a bit on the BB guns, but we can have Normal Grandpa work on that. 

Human foosball was pretty cool, except two kids got a soccer ball in the junk at close range. They cried. Nastiest nut shots I've seen in awhile. 

Dodgeball! Cole was the last one standing at one point. Probably because he stands far back and about a quarter mile off to the side. 

Cole mad at me for taking a picture. 

Cole on color guard duty. The Scouts do a lot of flag ceremonies. 

Two hoodies helped Cole survive the cold night.

Team Tiger

Reunited!
