Neither did Grandfather! As always, he took the planning and execution of his Cub Scout resident camp experience to a whole new level. There was a Western theme to this year's event, and the boys got to cut loose with a bit of gambling and some time at the (juice) bar!
The boys could also treat themselves to a little pampering at the barber shop with a shave or makeshift bath! Pretty clever!
Unfortunately, there are no pictures to share of the boys' favorite craft project...the construction of marshmallow shooters! I can only imagine that the scene was such utter chaos that Grandfather and Grandma were too distracted (or scared) to document it! Regardless, it was reported that Cowboy Baylor ran himself ragged every single day and often called it a night before big brother Cowboy Jaxon. Don't feel too sorry for my little cowboys though. They weren't roughing it like their buddies in the cold. Nope, they were with their head honcho Grandfather and got to "rough it" in a heated cabin with beds! It's good to know the guy in charge!
I'm not sure whether Jaxon and Baylor used their connections in the kitchen as well. You see, Uncle Travis volunteered to cook for the Scouts. Surely, that meant an extra dessert or slice of pizza for his Cowboy nephews.
Over the 4-day campout, the boys were able to pack in an astounding number of crafts and activities. It's no wonder that they were exhausted at the end of each day. I was worn out based on the report alone! Both Jaxon and Baylor took home medals (Gold for Jax & Bronze for Baylor) in their sporting events. That's in addition to all the belt loop credits and craft projects! However, what really counts are the countless memories that were created, and we all have Grandfather and Grandma to thank for that! I said it once & I'll say it again...It's good to know the ones in charge!
