July Part 1

July was nuts in our house.  We had a total of 3 nights where everyone was home.  We celebrated with the 4th of July with a neighborhood bike ride. 

As you can see from Tilly, it was very hot.

Mary scored an ice cream cone after baseball.

 

Mike and George went to Canyon Camp on July 3rd with Troop 206.  Most of the following are pictures Mike took.

To help celebrate our country's independence, Mike made a tri-corner hat and shot a gun.

George climbing the tower.

The camp re-enacts the Battle of Bunker Hill on July 4th with flour.

The rest of the family made the trip up to camp on Wednesday.  Our girls got a chance to try some bouldering.

George mastered the zipline.

We also enjoy some Native American traditional dancing and an Order of the Arrow tap-out ceremony.

Although Becca didn't get to go to camp with most of her troop.  We knew she was going to get tapped out.

Here she is being presented.

George and Alex had to build their own shelter as part of the Wilderness Survival badge.

And some kayaking.

I don't know what he's working on but he's working.

Here are the troops by the bell.

No trip to Canyon Camp would be complete without a stop at Union Dairy in Freeport.

That's it for July part 1.  Come back soon for part 2.
