Leo and I are spending the next few days at Woodfield Scout Preservation for our third (and final) year of Webloes camp. Things started off great – we were on time – actually 6 minutes early 😳. Ready for our adventure!

We loaded up a few cars and headed off to orientation and then… the bottom fell OUT! We spent the next hour in the mess hall getting instructions on how meals would work, where we sat, and even got our medical exams (i.e. turn in forms, and take the boys temperatures).

Once the rain stopped, We headed back to camp to get bathing suits for those who needed it… and then a very dark cloud set in, complete with thunder, lighting and some rain. But nothing like earlier. So swimming was now out of the question, so began to make our camp. The boys, and one girl, all were great – setting up tents, working together and really helping the younger scouts.

Afterwards we headed back to the mess hall for dinner. The boys were pretty sad that it wasn’t the famous Woodfield Salisbury Steak, but the pork roast was pretty good – not Two Boys Pork good, but good. We also found our favorite camp counselor – Kenan! Always happy to see some forward Pack 426 guys! Then it was time for slush puppies!!! It’s the happiest I’ve ever seen $1 make Leo 😁

The boys played Gaga ball until it was time for Campfire and off we went. We met the staff, sang some songs and did a little dancing…

Then it was back to the campsite to finish set up, and then then it was lights out! The temperature hasn’t been awful – a little humid after the rain but compared to last year’s 100°, 80 seems almost chilly!

Tomorrow we have model campsite, boating, and who know what else. No rain the forecast so hopefully we can dry out. 😉
