Well, as I mentioned last week, Sam, Jack and I spent the weekend out at Crooked Creek Camp, a camp owned an operated by Boy Scouts America.
This would have to be one of the highlights of the year. The boys had a great time out there, setting up the tent, roasting marshmallows over the campfire, getting Scouts badges and belt loops at the late night campfire-lit meeting, playing kickball, and having a great time on the forts, the confidence course and the nature trails. This time of year is great for camping, often with fine warm days and nights that are not too cool just yet (camping in the summer time here usually isn't an option - it is just too hot to be in a tent, or even out under the stars and try to sleep through most of the summer).
It was also a great time to get to know some of the other Dads that take there kids to scouts. Because it is a local scout pack, most of the families live in or close to our neighborhood.
I think camping is well and truly in the boys' system now - it's something that we're going to have to try to do much more of while we're here.
