Boy Scout Camp

Well we got all the laundry done and packed back up again so that all three of my guys can go off to Boy Scout Camp.

This is what I expect them to look like on the way back.  I guess they are just trying to get ahead of the tiredness!

And then we brought him home again...

He's stinky and dirty and had a great time at NYLT.  He seems more confident and grown up.  Not grown up enough to have actually used all the clean clothes we packed to go on camp but supposedly they didn't have time to shower every day.  LOL!!

He learned a lot of funny songs and has been singing them non-stop since we brought him home.

Can't believe I didn't talk to him for almost a week and how much I missed him.  But at least when I went to pick him up, he ran up to me in the learning room and gave me a big hug in front of all the other scouts because he missed me too.

How is he old enough to go away to camp all by himself for a week where I can't talk to him at ALL!?  Didn't he just turn 13 the other day (LITERALLY)!!?

Well here we are on a Sunday afternoon, dropping this happy kid off to camp by himself with a bunch of people he doesn't know to learn leadership skills for Boy Scouts.  I can't wait to see him again next Friday!!
