He's Home!

He's finally home!! Little Mister has been out camping since Friday evening.  This is the second camp out he's been on since he moved up from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.  I miss him like crazy when he's gone.  There's no contact with him at all from the time I leave him with the group on Friday evening, until I get the text from the leader that he's almost home.  I don't worry about him too much, I know he's in good hands.  About the only thing I do worry about is rather someone will forget to give him his medicine while he's out.  It's difficult here at the house, for his alarm to be silent when 10:00 rolls around.

He's a good boy, and I want him to learn all he can about how to survive, cook, and live in the outdoors.  I believe that someday it may come to that.  He learns a lot at these camp outs.  More than just how to pitch a tent.  When the boy scouts go camping, the boys have to get together and plan a menu, and one boy is assigned to do the shopping and purchase the food.  They are responsible for their own cooking, clean up, building a fire and watching it.

Glad to have my little man back in the house!  Do your kids go on outings without you?
