Cub Scout Day Camp, Take Two

This past week Parker went to Cub Scout Day Camp with the Bears & Wolves.  It was their second try this summer.  The weather put on a fantastic show the first time the boys tried to go.  After spending 90 minutes under a pavilion, the decision was made to try again another day.

10 days later and despite the cloudy morning, they were able to enjoy their day at Jeremiah Johnson Day Camp.  At the Swordsmith Shop Parker made his very own sword for a bit of swashbuckling adventure.  He'd better keep a keen eye out for that buddy of his.

I suppose I should be recording this activity as an adventure for Shawn, not Parker.  You see, this boy that I call Parker likes to be known far & wide by a variety of aliases.  On this day, he was known as Shawn Spencer (yes, the psychic detective from our favorite tv show, Psych).  As it turns out, a bit of highly honed powers of observation would be very helpful on this morning, since the camp had been robbed the night before!

Aside from the initial morning uproar, the rest of the camp activities proceeded as normal.  Shawn's ship sailed into the harbor in lead position during the Raingutter Regatta.  A brief moment of glory was celebrated by captain & crew in the form of a deep & steady breath.

 Some of Shawn's favorites from the day included lunch & spending his money at the trading post.  Paul was with him at camp & when he saw a hungry boy, daddy made sure he was fed.  Shawn got to eat both a hot dog & a hamburger lunch.  Shawn also brought some of his hard earned money & bought a pocket knife.

Having pictures of Parker's Shawn's adventures here at Day Camp is pretty special for me.  Dallin went to this same camp three years in a row but I've had to see him as a camper in my mind's eye.  I was really glad Paul got to be there this year.  Thank you for taking so many great pictures!
