Scout Camp!


Josh and Brayden had a fun filled day yesterday. They got to go to scout camp at Camp Keisel.
Brayden was excited because he had so much fun last year. The picture above is them leaving bright and early. They were gone all day, and Brayden had a lot of fun. He loves that his dad is his leader and gets to go with him.
When Brayden returned home I thought he would be on cloud nine, talking and telling me all about his day...he was tired! He also was disappointed. One of Brayden's favorite parts about scout camp is the store. They have all kinds of boy things...pocket knifes, arrowheads, etc.
Brayden decided to spend some of his allowance. He bought yet another pocket knife, an arrowhead necklace and a rabbit skin. He was most excited about the rabbit skin. Right after buying they sat down for lunch. Dad told Brayden several times to put his stuff in his backpack. Well, Brayden put the pocket knife in his pocket and the arrowhead necklace around his neck and he left his new found prized possession on the table to be right by him as he ate....
you got it. The treasured rabbit skin got left after lunch as they moved on to more excited things, and when Brayden realized and headed back...it was gone. Brayden was SO disappointed.
Other than that, they did have a good day and were so tired they went to bed super early!

Summer!


We are excited for summer around here! Brayden and Mel made this poster:




Brayden's top 3 picks to do first are:
- Sleeping on the tramp with mom
- Visiting Chick & Jean's with Grandpa Guy
- Family date night (yet to be decided if it will be in the basement or out on the town)

And Mel is super excited that this summer is her's to ENJOY!
