The kids carved pumpkins, launched rockets they made from 2ltr bottles, played games, fired bb guns, and shot arrows. Tyler hit the target with all 5 bbs and scored enough to earn a shooting patch! ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH5iV95ocCRuNZaCZJDcFMJ7URKLF4BHHFG0UoBH9zbx_gZn17UrgV_qsd-8VT6L7oM5fPQZJsL2NtHVDFnVPJFxEkC3fsluI5TJz5t38YqsUmPv7OGZTKkWeZV1O-vrEpaB4POQ/s320/017.jpg)

Danielle and I left after the flag retiring ceremony, but Tyler and Ron stayed to camp out. Tyler
and his friends played with their flashlights in the dark field and had a lot of fun until bed time. Ron and Tyler toughed it out in freezing temperatures until around 4 am. Tyler finally asked to come home, so the boys finished out the night in their warm beds. By the time they left, the temperature was 30 but felt like 25. I was glad they came home. Other than the freezing-at-night part, the kids had a great time.

I am really enjoying all the scouting activities because the kids are gaining the opportunity to further develop friendships (several of the kids are in Tyler's class at school) while learning things they wouldn't normally be exposed to. It has really been a good experience so far.

Thanks for the update! We wondered all weekend how things went. Sure looked like a lot of fun--except the freezing part ;-)
Looks like a lot of fun! I'm glad that they have scouting where you live. They stopped doing it while I was a kid, and I missed out (I never got to sell cookies).
It's good that Tyler gets to do manly things with the other kids and with his Daddy.
