Cub Scout Camporee-part 1

We had our Scout Camporee and it was a blast. We started out at the The Evergreen Aviation museum in Mcminnville,Oregon. When we were done we went on to the Flying"m" Ranch.

First parts first, we started out at the Aviation Museum-Space building. We all met there and had a tour guide lead the boys while the parents ooh'd and aww'd. I really love learning about space and how it took us to get there. So I was in heaven.

The Imax film/movie was broken so we had to take a rain check on that one. That only means that we will have to go back another day, yay!!

Family Campout 2008, Last Night Crab Feast

Here are a few of the crabs that the family caught.
This one is a red rock and are the bad ones, they are the invasive crabs.
We can catch as much as 30 of these in 3 days I believe.



This is the FEAST!
No thank you, but the kids and rest of the family love it.
Sam and Mickey especially.

Family Campout 2008

Camping at the beach, so we cant forget to add some beach playtime.
It was at least 90 degrees and the water was warm.
I cant remember the last time that the beach was so perfect.
Best of all, no fighting and squabling.
Awww.......



My sweetie, he had to retreat to the van.
He forgot his hat, we didn't want any sunburns this trip.


This little guy always looses his pants.
He loves the ocean, i had to keep chasing him. He would run as far out as he could before i caught up. The tide was out but you still cant trust the water or sink holes.
