A Camping We Will Go
Dave wasn't fortunate enough to break a leg or get malaria quickly enough, so he and Mikey spent the first three days of August at Cub Scout Adventure Camp. They had a great time!
First day
Dave, displaying (very) bad form, on the way to (barely) passing his swim test
Croquet? Hockey? Golf? These enterprising boys combined elements of all three
Mikey at Sunday evening flag ceremony
"Peek a boo, I see you!"
The other tables have long emptied, his face hasn't been clean for 45 minutes... but Mike just keeps eating
A boy and his moose
Second Day
A trying morning for Old Glory:
Mikey helps raise the flag over our village (left), then is, gulp, entrusted to carry the camp flag
"This is your Mike on drugs"
Actually, he was just fading a bit after our long hot morning nature walk
Blind Lead the Blind, Pt. 1:
Dave confidently "mans" the oars, before giving up and having to be towed back to the dock by a teenage girl in a canoe
It takes a smooth operator... but somehow Mikey scores anyway (right)
"Glasses make me look smarter, right?"
Mikey and a slingshot make Dave wonder if our liability insurance bill has been paid
Blind Lead the Blind, Pt. 2:
Dave helps Mike figure out archery,
or maybe the other way around
"Sir Mike-a-lot" in his knight's tunic
A good walk unspoiled:
At the top of the mountain overlooking Naples
Third Day
Mikey "helps" his buddy Counselor Colin sign the certificates
Chatting up Colin and the boating counselor
