Happy 100th Bday BSA!

2010 marks the 100th anniversary of Boys Scouts of America. Isn't it amazing that they've been around that long?? To celebrate, this weekend was a special Camporee in Spokane at the Fairgrounds. Many of our boys from our pack were able to come. Unfortunately I wasn't b/c I had a wedding today. But it ended up working out cause then I was able to go to Gavin's preschool "graduation!" But back to the Camporee.... Friday night, Trav and Austin headed out to the Fairgrounds to start the fun! They set up their camping area where they'd spend the night (Trav works Sun, so they couldn't stay both nights). Saturday morning started early by my alma mater's (Shadle!) bagpipers and dancers going through the boys' camp at 6:15! It started a long, full day of activities. There was so much to do, Trav said they were only able to do/see a small amount. I guess the rain held out until Sat afternoon, so they were mostly warm & dry! My boys came home tired and stinky, but they had an awesome time and hopefully Austin made some memories he'll always have.

Home, sweet, home
