Scout Camp

There wasn't a good day for us to go to a scout camp this year so, hey, why not make our own?!? What was I thinking!!! I couldn't have done it without some of the other scout leaders volunteering to help out. Not to mention my poor husband got coerced into showing off his tool talents. I cannot believe how much we crammed into one day! Why I thought we could pull off 3 of the most time/work intensive activity badges into 8 hours. That means those 10 year-old boys were stuck with me for 8 loooooong hours. Okay not so long, we were having so much fun that the time went by very quickly. Here are a few pics from our day:

Making Duct Tape Wallets

We made name plates, key hangers and bow and arrows

We also made rockets that we launched off

Sanding . . .

sanding and more sanding

Trying to show off their muscles by trying to lift our truck. We were teaching them how a hydraulic jack worked

The boys were racing to make a simple circuit. They won if they got their LED to light first.

Learning how pulleys work

Making a catapult and launching M&M's

I would say the day was a success!

Utah State University

Apparently we have made quite an impression on our children. Kaitlyn was telling her friend that she couldn't go to BYU or she would be disowned by her father!

Go Fight Win!

 

 

 

I just can't get enough of this little boy!
He is such a joy to be around.
