This was a ton of fun and only part of what was done. I really enjoyed seeing Brandon interact with the boys. We went on a 2-3 mile hike through the tunnels by the dam. He never complained on the way back from the hike to the Alan Bible visitors center. This was only a week following his surgery, so I really did not know what to expect. They did some great things that were a lot of fun. The last day we were there we were supposed to be at the pavilion in the park by the YMCA, and it rained and hailed on us like crazy. We ended up back at the church. They even had a swim party one night. We had a couple of very hot days at the Veterans Memorial Park and the theme was Cub Scout Castaways. The boys learned about building a shelter/tents out of sticks, ropes, and sheets. They made boats with what ever they thought might work that was available, and raced them in the pool of water. After all, when you're a castaway there is not always a whole lot available. They also made walking sticks, and a pocket type of thing for putting their stuff in that attached to the stick. They had a scavenger hunt. They also had dinner with their families and did skits the last night, and received on awards. I truly enjoyed spending this time with him. Even if we did have car problems that week. It was so satisfying to spend time with him, and not have to worry about what I needed to do at home. I really feel like I get to caught up in other things, and find it hard to spend the kind of time I would like to with him. So this was very refreshing, and enjoyable.

Scout Day Camp in Boulder City

Wow, this looks like a great day camp. Is this what the stake did this year or did you put Brandon in this separately?
