Winter Beaver Camp
















First of all, the boys were dressing up as superheroes..again. I love it. Sam even got a cape!! By the way, Thomas has been really good at the potty... even got his 2 poops in the toilet today!! This is really big news!! When Gramma and Dale showed up to watch the two little ones, Matt, Ben and myself headed out for our overnight Beavers camp at Riverdale. We loved the space and the perfect weather. We got to play outside most of the afternoon with spray painting the snow, arrows and dart games. We were sledding and hiking. We found both a "lean too" and an "igloo". We then managed a few indoor activities including supper before we headed back out for smores and a campfire. Soon we were back inside for games of "Headbanz" and a "freeze dance". These boys went non stop!! It was fun. A few stories later, we all climbed into our bunks and settled in for the night. By 6 am most of the boys were up so we played lego, made popcorn/peanut lines to hang in the trees for the animals and managed a scavenger hunt. Ben and Matt loved the bow and arrows. The sledding was great and then it was time to head home again!! What a cool first camping weekend. The last picture is of Rainbow and Bubbles... the leaders were ready for a rest!! Thanks alot to everyone for the really fun weekend!! The MacNeills
