Home from camp!

Jack and I got home from Webelos resident camp last night---one night early.


The rains came were going to keep coming through today. We made the decision before supper to pack up the boys and head out. We were walking in the mud and rain for most of the day yesterday. Two of the boys were leaving early today anyway and three of the other boys were out of dry clothes and footwear----plus even the "dry" clothing was damp. Two of the tents were leaking water around the doors from the rain blowing against them. So we packed 8 boys, 4 adults and all the gear into our three vehicles and drove the hour home. The other 4 parents were called and they picked up their boys at our houses. It was probably good since they had almost another inch of rain overnight.


We left all the tents pitched at our campsite and Dr. V went back this morning to tear them down and pack them into plastic bags to bring home. Hopefully we will get dry weather for a few days so we can pitch them here at home and dry them out.


The boys did a lot of achievements at camp and are well underway towards earning their Webelos badge.


I started washing the clothes from camp. All of them dirty and clean. The clean ones were damp anyway. Load 2 is in the washer.

Need to hand the sleeping bags out to air when the sun finally appears.

Pack meeting Tuesday night -- Bottle rockets, then the beach.

And I interviewed to drive school bus for the school district and they called yesterday and offered me a position. Going in tomorrow to fill out paper work so they can submit me to the school board on Monday for final approval. Then will need physical, clearances, and getting my CDL to drive bus.
