I must begin this post with a disclaimer. Some of the activities that my children took part in this weekend were not approved or condoned by me. So please don't tsk-tsk me or think that I encourage any of this. I'm just Mom, why would anyone listen to me?
Sam and Ryan, along with cousin, Trace, had a campout at Grandpa's this Saturday Night. The General put 2nd Lt. Sam in charge of these manuevers, with Ryan and Trace as his Troops. This put Sam on fire duty, and the General challenged him to keep the fire going all night. As you can see from the pictures, he took this challenge seriously. They roasted hotdogs and marshmallows over the fire, ate watermelon, and consumed massive quantities of soda (most of which contained caffiene, I'm sure). Then the three little ones took to the tent for lights out...ALONE. That's right, no adults, just Sam, to make sure everyone made it through the night. He is a Cub Scout after all. In the morning they ate a huge army breakfast.
Thankfully, they are back at home, safe and sound. Tomorrow the adventure begins on another school year.

I wish that I could write like you. My blog seems so boring compared to yours. You make me laugh!
I am not showing this to my kids because I know they will want to build a fire also. Looks like they had a good time.
Lets put the mommyism's to rest..These troops are highly trained and disciplined. Their first over night mission was a stunning success.This past week,raging flood waters almost wiped out FireBase One. Clean-up and restoration was accomplished in a military manner under the direction of the Admiral. The next mission for these Army Ready guys will the first weekend in November.
