The whole group worked so well as a team to build it.

Christmas Tree Lighting

A Tradition in our town is to light the giant Sequoia Tree for the holidays. They now have parades, singing, arts and crafts, and cant forget SANTA. So for our den meeting we had the boys and families come and play for the night. It was a blast, we were all getting kinda cold when out of no where a cart with cider and cocoa stopped by. It was free and yummy. While waiting we got into a camera war and started taking random pictures of each other. I so enjoy spending time with the parents of our boys.

Webelos Woods Continued,Hike day

This is our last day at camp and there are only 4 boys that are going on the hike. I was excited because it was to a waterfall. We earned about mushrooms and plants that are rare in the area, very awesome.



Here is Austin, Mickey, Calvin and Kellen they are the best of buddies.
Goofy time!!
My Way favorite picture on the hike,
all green and no touch ups this is the real picture!
We had only one more group with us for the hike, it was a Boy Scout troop. They were mixed in the group and were awesome helpers on the first night.
A red mushroom and very important to the Eco system.
A black mushroom, they weren't sure its name, one of a few in the area.
Ranger Yoeder, very smart and willing to answer all the questions from the boys. Showing us the blood orchid, it needs the trees and mushrooms around it to survive. Only a small amount in all, rare to find.

Here is the falls, what a neat hidden wonder.

The group mingling around.
Mickey all cool and chillin.
Austin and Mickey cheezn for the camera.


Now this picture is priceless, this is the picture taken seconds before his dad tried to dodge a picture and ended up in the stream. He got a little hurt and cold but not down the falls.
Shelf mushrooms

Discussing how to count the years of a downed tree with mushrooms.

I had a wonderful time and was glad that all were able to make it. I cant wait to do again.
