Last week was cub scout camp. I was roped into going all week last year and enjoyed it so much I volunteered for the whole week this year. Tritan had computer camp and Athena and Apollo were able to come with me. Athena participated in camp as part of a Girls Group, and they get to do everything the Cubs do--shoot bbs, archery, crafts, swimming. Apollo goes to the Tot Lot where they do games, crafts, and swimming.
This year the theme was Knights, Castles, and Dragons. They had a blast making shields and tunics, learning how to "sword" fight with rolled up paper swords, meeting greyhound dogs and stately steeds. They get to go swimming every day (sometimes twice a day if it's hot) and somehow still get in knot-tying, bbs, archery, and first-aid.
Once, when I was taking off my hat to go swimming, I asked Paris if my hair looked ok, and Paris replied, "Yeah, Mom, you never embarass me." Words to cherish.
