Cub-Adult Overnite

While I was in New York, the rest of the family spent part of the weekend at Camp Durant, an Occoneechee Council Scout Camp in Carthage, NC. It was a Cub-Adult Overnite, but fortunately Boo was able to tag along with Norman and Simon. They spent most of Saturday practicing shooting sports - marshmallow gun (which Boo got to try too), BB gun, and archery - and also made some crafts, splashed in the lake, and sang around a campfire. They slept in a tent together on Saturday night, and returned home after breakfast on Sunday. I'm not sure Simon enjoyed it (at least not the sleeping, or lack thereof), but the kids had a blast.

Here's Norman getting some archery help. He was surprised how hard it is to pull the string back. And also surprised to hear that Mummy was an archer when she was younger.
