Scottie is home!

So Scott finally got home late last night from Scout camp....thanks to Uncle Denis and Uncle Marty for picking up the kids....Scott was tired but glad to be home. I know that Renee and I were glad to see him! He stayed awake a little telling us stories about his week long adventure. He slept in open walled cabins....ate great food....swam.....worked on merit badges....but didn't get to go shooting like he really wanted to.....but he got to hang out with his bud Brian the entire week because they had the same classes....they shared a pizza on Tues night and talked to each other about being home sick. Out of all the classes and merit badge activities, I think that was the biggest lesson.....hang with your buddies, share what you have and help each other when you're down....now that Scott is back home, the daily grind of life continues on.....this weekend we are headed to San Jose to assist in the cemetery clean up, Scott will represent Troop 50 there....and then we are headed for some sailing with our friends the Uenaka's. I'm sure I'll have some great pics to blog after the weekend. One last thing.....I asked Scott if anything bad happened this past week and he told me....."we got banned from our outhouse...". Apparently, each Troop has an outhouse close by their camp site. I guess somebody decided to take a dump on the floor of the outhouse...nobody confessed to the crime so the entire Troop was banned from the outhouse and they had to hike down the hill if they wanted to use the bathroom. I had to laugh at that one....Boy Scouts or not......boys will be boys.....
