Camp In

William and I joined other families from his cub scout den at a camp in at the Magic House.  He had been looking forward to this forever and he just could not contain his excitement.  I was a bit concerned at first because the kids were just running all over doing anything they wanted.   William and his buddy made lots of birth certificates for inappropriately named babies.  We had to put an end to the potty talk baby names.

 The boys took out pizza orders and served us well. 

 After an hour and a half of free play we met for orientation.  They explained how our evening would work and then invited in Steve the Reptile guy.  The boys just loved his show. 

 After a 10:30 pizza snack the kids were given a catapult kit.  Each pack had to work together to make a catapult that would shoot the ping pong ball the farthest.  William even got to launch the catapult himself.  They didn't do to shabby - 6th out of 14 groups. 
Finally after the catapults were launched we were able to get our gear and find a place to sleep for the night.  William chose to sleep in the car of this exhibit.  I was worried that he would fall of the seat in the middle of the night, but he didn't.  He slept hard - might have had something to do with the fact that we were up until 1am.  Momma didn't sleep quite as well - or really at all.  But even the lack of sleep couldn't take away from what a great night it was for this guy.
