Pics from Nicholas Cub Scout Day Camp

As promised, here are some more pictures from Nicholas' Cub Scout Day Camp Adventure. As Aaron didn't get to go all week, we don't have any photos of Nicholas when he participated in shooting the BB guns, or hitting a bulls eye in archery or launching beans with a slingshot. We did capture these other shots.

This is Nicholas on the last day of camp. A big thunderstorm had blown in that afternoon and the camp had to be cancelled. As he is a growing boy, the rain did not dampen his appetite. Nothing was going to stop him from enjoying his lunch.
This is a picture from the first day of camp. Here Nicholas and company are working at the craft table gluing together a dinosaur to be painted later.
Horseshoes is always a good game to play. Don't look so serious Nicholas!

Drinking plenty of water is a necessity when playing outdoors in the Texas heat (notice the nifty holster for the water bottle). Wearing cool camouflage shorts and your cap backwards will keep you "cool" as well.
When the thunderstorm rolled in the boys and leaders all gathered in under the shelter of the pavilion. Unfortunately the rain did not let up and the rest of the day's activities had to be cancelled.
The boys entertained themselves with impromptu drum beating and singing (a rain dance perhaps?). Nicholas says he had a really fun time and looks forward to camp again next year.

I'm so glad he had a great time! That is so cool that he got a bull's eye! Good job!

Rain sure has a way of putting a damper on things! I'm glad Nick had a good time anyway, in spite of the lousy weather. I think the drought is officially over, so it can quit raining for a while. Sheesh!
