Ripley Rendezvous

This weekend S. & D. And I went with Troop 90 up to Fort Ripley, for the Council-wide Fall Camporee. I taught the Space Exploration (Rocketry) merit badge. It was good, we stayed in tin huts that slept about 20. About 200 people all told.

N. did well - had company sleep over and went to the Elk River Methodist tag sale. Dog was sleeping poorly though.

Got news from Moz. today the my little nephew got bit by the family guard dog - some ugly stitches later, Cami writes that he is fine. He is in our prayers that this wound is clean and closes up well, and about the personal bugaboo that dogs seem to have become for my brothers family. It seems that dogs do make them feel safer out there, but this isn't even the second time one of their boys has gotten bitten.

Dog Named, News at 11!

It's the Left guy, named Logan. He spent most of his first afternoon hiding in a corner. But he is starting to perk up. Good to talk to Umpa and the folks in Moz. today!

New Member!

Look who is moving in! Just one of them though. Name and details to follow.


And yes N. had a good birthday, Mommy brought cupcakes to school and had lunch there. Kid party is next week.

Mommy Happy!

The Boys returned to School, So Mommy is happy!

We spent the weekend at Big Oak Campground in Monticello. It is owned by the local Energy company, it has a big pool and about 40 remote campsites. It is also under consideration to be the new location for Cub Camp in the spring. We had company out for the day on Sunday, and a friend from work camped over - It was a good time, and the new stove worked well, and the Dutch Oven rocked.
