Weekend Update

1) Umpa is home and sore, but getting better.

2) Went to Rum River Scout Camp -Very nice, but does not have Scout dining hall, type facilities.
A good court of honor for the troop - Summer Camp stuff, but the Pack was invited and no one came. Maybe we need to do Pack camping earlier in the summer or at an RV capable camp.

3) Mommy says "Only eight days 'til school, but who's counting "- And a brief "HA" to the Torrington folks, who started today.

4) Went to http://www.mnstatefair.org/ today - the Fried Bacon covered in chocolate and salt was exactly as it sounds "AWESOME" - And would probably kill you in even medium sized doses.

August Events

Last week was a Twins game - We Cubbys got to march on the field prior to the game. This weekend the pack is accompanying the Troop to Rum River Scout Camp in Anoka. And next week we will be using the camper at Big Oaks out in Monticello.

Preparing to return to MN.

A great vacation was had by all. Got the Mommy priorities out of the way early, picnics and pictures and a family reunion. Me and the Boys went up to Camp Workcoeman to stay with Troop 3 on Friday night. It was great! The boys and I were welcomed home, and the took the Cowboy theme to the limit, and then further. They used the Districts Wagons West stagefronts to decorate the camp - even came to the flag ceremony one day in a horse and wagon. We slept out in tents, even the little guy (who was so proud of his swim tag). Been staying at my parents in Winsted since Sunday. Visited friends, went to back Bakersville Methodist (a sad and strange story) and even visited Nasdaq friends. The boys stayed over at friends homes, and took a day trip to the beach with Bunga. K. and T. let us borrow their van, we were here and they were in Thialand on a mission trip - what a blessing! We were able to leave the Camper parked and still get out and about. And the guys got to the dump with Umpa.
