Bug spent this week at cub scout camp (during the day, no overnight camps for him yet). The theme this year was "Space Camp". Bug was with 3 of his friends for camp. Here is Bug with L. being silly before we headed to kickball. I wen out on Friday after work to see the end of camp presentation.
Bug's den (cub scouts from many different packs from our city), getting instructions on kickball.
Since camp was space themed, the dens had different things to carry with them. Bug's den had this alien guy. I think this alien was very abused with these boys.
Bug and his 2 friends were in the Apollo 11 den. they had to learn some facts about their den name and present them at the end of camp presentation.
Playing kickball. Bug and his 2 friends ended up on one team and eventually I ended up on the other team because the other team had so many players who decided to sit out. At the end only 2 boys were playing and I was with them in out field.
This is P getting ready to kick
Bug kicking and then running to first base.
L kicking
Bug scoring a run, his team went up 5-0 immediately and ended up winning 17-8. It could have been worse, but the den leader invoked the mercy rule since the other team only had 2 boys playing (they started with 8 boys).
Bug got a chance to pitch
Apollo 11 Den
Our pack had some other boys present, this is the wolves (2nd graders). We had 3 boys and a leader in this group. They were in Den Pluto
This is the bears (3rd graders), we had 1 leader and 2 boys in this group. They were in Den Discovery
Bug's den with the medical officer for camp (our tiger den leader).
One the way home from camp, I treated Bug to an ice cream at the Goode Shop.
Saturday, the boy scouts in Troop 660 held the rain gutter regatta for the cub scouts in Pack 660
the end of the rain gutter regatta is the water balloon fight.
The tent in case the rain arrives (it never did)
Listening to instructions
designing boats- foam pool noodles, cut in half, coffee stirrers, index cards and a straw. all the items needed for a rain gutter regatta.
You can add in markers, crayons and color pencils for decorations
siblings and he boys scouts also got involved.
The rain gutters, capped and filled with water, ready to go
some of the kids did not want to use straws so they blew their boats down the gutters. This only worked a few times before the kids using straws started winning.
We had to change ends due to the wind, but it was all good.
N and J racing, N ended up winning against all the other boats in the regatta.
Bug decided not to use a sail and that proved to be the mistake in his boat design. He could not generate enough force to push the boat down the gutter.
Once the cub scouts finished racing, the boys scouts got into the action.
brother against brother.
And then the sibling winner raced the boy scout winner.
Finally, time for the water balloon fight.
the balloons were gone in 10 - 15 minutes, most everyone got wet, except Bug. Bug some how stayed completely dry.
After the rain gutter regatta was cleaned up (picking up all the pieces of balloons from the grass), Bug and I headed out to buy some school uniforms. there are 3.5 weeks until school starts for Bug. He needed some new shirts and some light weight pants for the Fall and late Spring. So off to the consignment store to buy these. He got 5 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $30.00. He needs a new pair of shoes and some socks and that is all to get this year.
We have a busy few weeks left before school starts, including finishing up our spare bedroom for the student from Japan who will be staying with us for the school year.
Love and hugs,
Deb
