I realize that I am running two months behind on this one, but I finally got some pictures (Courtesy of Hank a.k.a Cole's grandpa!). Ethan had his first chance to attend scout camp this summer. It was the week of his birthday, so they let him go, even though he wasn't quite 12 until the middle of the week. I honestly can't believe he's old enough to leave me for a week! The only reason I really was okay with it is because Jeremy is the assistant scoutmaster and went along! At least for the first 4 days, then he had to head home for work.
I was such a great experience for him. He worked hard and earned 4 merit badges and started 2 more. He was up at 6:00 every morning and not in bed until 10:00. He was exhausted by the end of the day, but he survived! It was a great opportunity to get to know the boys in his troop and experience the great outdoors.
I was a little sad to miss his birthday, but he didn't seem to mind. The boys gave him a little pie with a candle in it. He had a fun time and learned many new things. I am so proud of him and the great accomplishments he is making in his young life!

| Ethan and Cole working on their canoeing merit badge. They had to capsize their canoe, then get back in. |
 |
| This time they had to swim the flooded canoe all the way back to the shore. It was their favorite merit badge. Lots of work, but fun too! |
