Cub Scout Substitute

Grant came home from school insisting that we go to the Cub Scout informational meeting. Brandon was gone, so I went. Oh my goodness. Let me just say that I am not the only one who came home and had to have a drink. What it boiled down to is that he really wanted to camp and shoot his bow and arrow. (Kind of like EB wanting to do Girl Scouts so she could go horseback riding!) Problem solved...we have a place to camp. So we headed to the farm for our "Grant isn't doing Boy Scouts, but we are going to act like one, camp out"!

Pops teaching the art of tying a slip knot
Of course we have to check on our pumpkins...we have some!
Getting everything all lined up and still trying to figure out if he is right or left handed when he shoots...this was a lengthy procedure, but the men were VERY patient.
S'mores ae messy
4 wheeler rides with daddy
If must have been warm by the campfire, because it was not inside the tent! 
Yes, they may have been access to indoor plumbing, but we did make it outside all night long!
Maybe he is just hot blooded!
It was cold...Pops slept in the warmth of the grain bin

The radar showed less than a 1% of rain...guess what we are just that lucky that sometime in the middle night we awoke to the rain hitting the tent, but it was a quick passing shower. It passed just in time for the coyotes to start in with their howling. I hope everyone realizes how much I love my kids at this point because I would have been quite happy inside the grain bin! But we camped, we had a fire, we did our boy scouts things and the best part is, we aren't asking you to buy any popcorn!
