Tadje had is FIRST Cub-Scout Day Camp!
We were all so excited for him!
Well, except for me....I was as nervous as ever!
I kept hearing these "horror" stories about injuries and pocket knives and .....bears.
Oh, my!
I set up a couple of rules about the store, as I new what he would spend his money on....a pocket knife.
The rule: NO pocket knives (and no weapons)
The first day of camp he came home with a 4 ft bamboo stick!
"Welcome Home, Honey! .....What's that?!"
"Oh, a stick!"
"I know, but WHAT is it?"
"A long stick." ( Now loosing enthusiasm.)
"Yes, but, WHAT is it?"
"MOM, it is a long, tall, bamboo stick."
"Ohhhhhhhh....."
The second day he came home...he was dirtier than ever!
And he had a rubber band gun in his had.
Gabe: "Cool! Did you get me one?!"
Tadje: "No....I didn't have enough money."
He had a GREAT time!
He also read a story in the Children's Friend Magazine about a boy at camp that had a hard time and how someone befriended him!
I was proud to hear, Tadje chose to stick with a certain boy who is quite shy!
Now, he has a new friend!
What could be a better ending to Scout Camp?
