Family Campout

The weekend before Easter Island (back tracking now), we went to the annual Cub Scout Family Campout.  About an hour south of our home there is a campsite that was the site of a World Wide Jamboree about 20 years ago.  The campsite is maintained by a private company now that rents sites and cabins out.  We used a site and put a whole bunch of families and their tents on it.  It involves a lot of bikes, boys, and fun activities.  It is a two night event.  But our family went Friday afternoon until Saturday night.  So we didn't miss much just a night in the tent and breakfast.  Otherwise kids got to learn knot tying, first aid, using a compass, art projects, biking, hiking, ultimate frisbee (learning from an international medal winner of the sport), swimming, cricket, and a whole lot of friends and fun!  Mason opted not to go because there aren't a lot of kids his age, but no worries he had a lot of fun with friends in Santiago.
 Go Easton and Jayen!
 Hey friends!  Ian and Drew
 And Christian and Dallin.  Same age, big height difference.
 And the beauty of an international school, your kids learn to play cricket at a scout camp!
 It was a hot fall weekend.
