So today Brandon and I went to the Woodland Trails Scout camp to be with the Beavers colony to hike around and for the kids to play games and it was absolutely amazing.  The group was invited because the Cubs are camping over the weekend in a cabin and the leaders thought our kids would have a good time.  As we arrived at the camp, I suddenly realized that it’s a place I went to when I was younger and it made sharing the experience with him even better.  I hope that when Brandon is older and if he has a family that he shares these types of experiences with his kids (I’ll tag along if I allowed).

Anyway the Cubs had their own thing planned so most of the time we were walking around doing our own thing and the Beavers had a good time.  Brandon did make his own pizza and got a small first aid kit (the Cubs were earning their first aid badges), it’s nice that the older group keeps the kids in mind.  Anyway just before lunch the parents went out to set up some games and it was a big success as our group enjoyed the activities.  Later we hiked to this camp ground with train cars converted to shelters and they had a blast running through them.

Overall the weather was alright, we received a bit of snow but Brandon was well dressed, warm and dry the whole time.  A few of the parents were not as prepared so I gave out a toque, gloves and some consumable hand warmers to help keep everyone comfortable.

The conditions looked worse than they were, at least Brandon and I were quite comfortable.  We left around 3:30pm and when we got home we relaxed the rest of the afternoon/night.  When Maggie got back from shopping I went to the basement, cleaned some stuff then yeah I’m sitting here now thinking what a fun day it was. 🙂
