We decided that since this was the last summer that Ricky would be a Cub Scout that we better attend Family Camp since we’ve had such a great time in the past. Again we brought our good friends, the McKay’s to join along in the fun.
The camp was over Memorial Day weekend and it started off a bit rocky as Ricky came down with a stomach virus. So Rick, Jordana and The McKay’s headed off to Cub Scout camp without a Cub Scout. Rick said that they received some funny looks at check in when they stated that there was no Cub Scout with them. But Ricky prevailed and he and I headed up to the camp early Sunday morning so we did not miss the major events of the weekend.
One of the cool things about this year’s camp was that there were a number of new and fun things to do. The kids got to make plaster casts of animal prints at the “prints and scat” station. We also got to make our own hats, moroccos, and rope.
There were also our favorite stations to visit including fire building, archery and the BB Gun range.
Again one of the highlights was the swimming hole. I just couldn’t believe that the kids insisted on swimming as it was very cold – high was only 68 with a cool breeze off of the ocean. So they came out to warm up in the sun and went back in again. I guess that there were too many cool bugs and creatures to examine and that took their minds off of being cold.
Ricky got to participate in one of the flag closing ceremonies as he is a Weblo. (His entire back is to us and is in the middle in the picture).
The new and funny camp songs and the campfires did not disappoint. All in all it was a great last visit to Cub Scout Family camp.
Yulupa Open House
Last May we attended another great Open House a Yulupa. However, this year we were back in Kindergarten and it was Jordana’s turn to take us on the tour. After enjoying another great hot dog dinner and ice cream social put on by the Student Council, it was off to Mrs. Bashe’s K3 class. We started off sitting at Jordana’s table while she took us through the scrapbook she made highlighting her Kindergarten year (Yes that was my favorite part J).

She then took us on a tour of the classroom. We got to see lots of neat things including great art work on the walls.
The highlight of the tour was getting to meet the newly hatched chicks. They were so cuddly and cute.
Weblos I Bridging
In the beginning of May, Ricky and the rest of Den 6 (aka: The Flaming Marshmellows) of Pack 55 completed their final Cub Scout bridging ceremony when they bridged from Weblos I to Weblos II. It was bittersweet as Ricky and two of the other boys (Ben Sapers and Michael Lahaderne) have been together since they were first Tiger Cubs in 1st Grade. They all have grown up so much.

Ricky earned a number of awards and is now working with the rest of the Den to earn the right to bridge to Boy Scouts in February. Where has the time gone??
