Lewis & Clark

Ben had a kick-off for the scout camp he and Brother Boyd are planning.  As it's a Lewis & Clark theme, many of the elements of the activity revolved around that.  The boys met at our home and then took a bunch of canoes to a local pond.  They had a BLAST canoeing around there.  I guess they lashed two canoes together and that was a lot of fun for them.  They came back to our home for dinner:  hot dogs, chips, watermelon, Tampico - a typical summer camping dinner.  :)  They even made donuts on the skillet over the fire - which was perfect, I guess, as it was National Donut Day.  Some of the boys worked on sewing satchel bags for their camp adventure.  They ended the evening outside watching a National Geographic video of Lewis & Clark.  Although our boys plus one more were the only scouts from the ward, we had several extra friends/neighbors who came along and had a great time, too!

 A sort of random picture of Miles and Bella.  Because it's cute and it was taken that Friday.  :)

 The kids enjoyed the tramp - we're lucky no broken bones occurred!

 Bella was loved by all the boys!  They couldn't get enough of her.  :)

 Waiting for their donuts to cook.

Watching the show.

A cool night!
