Busy in Camp

 

Back at camp we kept busy with  bows and arrows (Clay would shoot the arrow and the kids would go retrieve them!, worked on several cub scout requirments - on was starting a fire without matches (CJ worked with the flint and steele for over an hour - he got very frustrated,  Fail and fail again, but kept at it.... and  he FINALLY, he got it!  we were so proud of him!  I think he was the most proud through.  His hard working efforts made a wonderful fire for us!), cooking 2 meals, and learning to use the "outdoor" potty.  I think the outdoor potty was  a favorite of all the kids!  They were so excited to dig themselves a hole, fill it, and then  cover it back up!  Even Detric was enthrolled!  He aparrently witnessed one too many of us "taking care of business in the wild" and went around mimicing us....it was too funny watching our 2 year old in his little voice say "Poop" and then squat, then walk a few more steps say "Poop" again and squat.  We try really hard to teach our kids NOT to "Potty talk" and that it is very inappropraite, but this scene was hilarious.  Clay and Laura had a hard time keeping it together!
