Oh the joy of scouting! I wished our council did this fantastic event. We joined up with Michelle, John, and Alex for Orange County's Scout-O-Rama. It was at a much better location this year...Irvine Lake. Lots of shade and less chance of heat stroke! Our day started off with a little canoeing. Alex and Isaac hopped on in for a quick little paddle around the small man-made lake. This was Isaac's first attempt at paddling. Thankfully there were experienced Boy Scouts to navigate and control the canoe. They probably would have ended up in the middle of the lake and never get back to the dock. The Orange County Register had one of their photographers there and actually posted photos of Alex and Isaac in the online paper. Pretty cool!
Here's Isaac climbing to the top of the rock climbing wall. He made it to the top to ring the bell! Way to go Isaac! We made our way through half of the exhibits and even earned a beltloop on Weather for Isaac. All three boys were able to make rubber band guns....so watch out! They're pretty sneaky!
The best news for us that came out of going to Scout-O-Rama is that Alex's pack has given Isaac a full scholarship to attend Camp Wiley! Praise God! We aren't able to make it to either one of ours due to our vacation to scatter Jeff's ashes conflict with both camp weeks. I'm so happy that John has volunteered to take Isaac with him and Alex to overnight camp in the mountains. We'll have to wait and see if he'll volunteer again in the future.
