Cub Scout Camp

This week I'm volunteering to help at cub scout camp. This should be interesting. Hubby drove to the park after church so I wouldn't get lost.




I'm hoping I don't get too lost on the grounds. Made sure son took allergy meds a few nights to help with the whole pollen thing. Then I read last night that the site has fire ants. Holy crap!

Welcome to the outdoors and tons of boys aged eight to ten. If anything I'm going to see what I'll learn, meaning it might end up in a future novel.

Ok, now need to get ready. Taking #70 sunscreen this time. Just in case.

Oh, sounds like tons o' fun...(??)

Seriously, I hope you have a great time, whatever that means in this situation. :)
It was an interesting day today. I was assisting another mom with ten boys aged 8-9. They had this one center where the boys were suppose to paint a flag to represent our den. Problem was there was no towels and they had to clean hands in this--cringe--tub that everyone else used. Gross. Thank goodness I had liquid soap in backpack. Wed I'm bringing wipes. And the porta potties rocked and rolled when using them. Oh, the fun!

So how did it go? Did you find it ok? I was willing to drive you over, too. : )

I forgot about that gross tub of water; it got really bad sometimes, too. I can definitely tell Bryce helped work on that flag today!

Oh, and abt. the fire ants; in the 2-3 years I've been going, I've never once come across one. In Houston I got bit by them all the time, but never here in CA. Just be careful, and you'll be fine.

And yeah, the porta potties aren't fabulous because the ground is pretty much not level. But if you go in a "restroom," you have to have a crazy ratio of adults w/ kids to be sure nothing "bad" might happen. So porta potties are quick, you can just stand outside while 5-8 boys go at once, each in a different porta potty.
