Mid-July Joe went on his first adventure as a Boy Scout. His troop loaded up and headed out to north of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. There were many hours of packing, repacking and shopping for just the right gear. Justin gave him a superb pep-talk about homesickness and he was on his way. We had a very quiet week without sibling rivalry rearing it's ugly head.
Joe loved camp. He adored fishing with Jorge, catching a snapping turtle off the dock and lots of little fish. He SAYS he read every night-and he did finish two books! He learned about working with leather-Justin got a new wallet & I have a key chain. He had one tick on him and thanks to his Mom's Pinterest tick-kit he got it right off! He shot a rifle. This is a great source of pride for him. There were a few homesick moments, but blonde-blue-eyed Jocelyn the nurse seemed to cure him!
Fuzzy but fun. These are Joe's bunkmates...Sam, Ben & Jorge. Great kids.
