Friday afternoon, April 27, I dropped Ryan off with all of his gear for his last campout as an 11-year-old scout. The guys went to Clover Springs, where they have gone before. Our ward and the ward next to us combine for scouts, so Ryan’s best friend in the neighborhood was also there, even though he is in the ward next to us.
They cooked hamburgers, hotdogs, and grilled vegetables for dinner (Ryan’s request). When they turned in for the night, all of the boys were together in one big tent. One boy, who was at camp for the first time, talked and talked. The other boys were a little bit frustrated at his exuberance and desire to stay awake all night. But then they all got up early and ate breakfast by the time the other kid finally rolled out of bed.
For breakfast Saturday morning, they had blueberry pancakes, hash browns, bacon, and orange juice (again, Ryan’s request). They enjoyed playing a bunch of games, and then broke camp and came home. They actually made it home about 2 hours before I thought they would. I was pulling out of the driveway when they pulled up. I hopped out of the car and helped them unload. I was ready to go to Deb’s baby shower, but after a hug from my returning scout, smelled like boy sweat and campfire smoke! Papa came over and hung out with Ryan and got the report of the trip while Rara & I went to Deb’s shower.
