This past weekend we went to the Muleshoe Wildlife Refuge with the cubscouts. There were about 50 kids running WILD having a BLAST! Addyson and I went too, but I insisted that we take the camper. Tent camping is not my cup of tea. Addyson, myself and another mom (Addyson's teacher last year, Mrs. King) slept in the camper. We FROZE! With no hook-ups we were not able to run the heater. BURRRRRR.......
Todd and the boys set their tent up right next to us. The other leader had his tent on the other side. The "kitchen" was in the middle. It was a GREAT set up!
Here is Tyler helping dad set up the tent.
This is the inside of the tent. Todd's parents bought it for him last year for his birthday. Check out the "closet" in the back. It is a COOL tent!
The one and ONLY picture of me the whole weekend. One of the boy scouts was there and I have taken care of him at school for the past 4 years and he didn't even recognize me. SAD!! We were making Dutch oven peach cobbler! Yum!
While the boys waited for everyone else to come, they played Skip-Bo. We were there at 10:00 am and everyone else didn't arrive until 4pm!! My husband likes to go early!
While the boys were outside playing Skip-Bo, Addyson was inside the camper reading my new "Twilight" inspired People magazine! LOL
The early bird GANG!
This is the "kitchen" set -up. Our tent is on the right and Terral's tent is on the left. The two camp stoves were set up on either side where hot coffee and water for hot chocolate was always ready. The white tables were used to organize the smore making activities.
We made Bug Juice...aka Fruit Punch. All the kids were RED!
Everyone arrived and all the tents got set up! There were tents EVERYWHERE! One of the Boy scouts brought a chess set and taught the cub scouts how to play. They loved it! Addyson is with Amy, her teacher last year in Kindergarten. She still LOVES Mrs. King.
Cubs (in blue) Boy scouts (in red) had a great time together! Check out all the tents and the metal fire pit. We had 3!
Todd talking to the gathered boys...
Group picture....now that is alot of boys!
Going on a hike, last year on the same hike they spotted Fred, the fearless rattlesnake! Thankfully this year Fred was hiding! We did have Shovel man...just in case!
The scouts went to 3 stations; hiking, leather works, and knot tieing. I brought jewlery making supplies and me and the little girls made jewlery! They loved it!
Leather works:
Knot tieing:
We roasted hot dogs and ate smores. When it got cool, we drank hot chocolate. When it got dark we broke out the glow sticks! Addyson got tired, at 8:00, so NOT like her and climbed in her surrogate mom's lap and was OUT! LOVE this picture!!
And this one:
And here is GRUMPY the next morning!!! She refused to go to the outdoor bathrooms. They were not bad at all! We were there over 24 hours and she went ONCE!!! Can you say, Miss PRISS!!
Did I mention we FROZE???? LOL (Kamron in black)
Bright and early and playing chess again! (Ty with the black beenie hat)
After breakfast, Todd led everyone in a small church service/bible study.
We got home around 11:00. Unloaded, showered and ate subway by 1:00pm. I was asleep by 1:30 and woke up at 5:00pm! I was EXHAUSTED!! We had a blast and I know the kids did too!
