Camping!

This past weekend Chris took the big boys camping with James's Cub Scout pack.  The boys were busy all weekend doing lots of cool outdoor activities... building campfires, making their own food, playing football, carving pumpkins, making new friends, and enjoying the fall weather.

The church where the Scouts camped this weekend for their "trial run,"
also Henry's preschool and home for the Scouts' weekly meetings.

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful all weekend!

Petey enjoying the fun!  He wants to be big so badly.

James seems to love Scouting and fortunately Chris is home to participate in the weekly meetings and attend the outings with him.  Chris and I did have to laugh about the intensity of some of the parents though... as they were packing up to leave this morning, the Scoutmaster asked Chris if he'd be up for walking around neighborhoods to sell popcorn with the boys later in the day.  He looked at her and said, "Um... absolutely not."  So funny... and only something a guy could get away with saying!
