Mission to the Moon

Were you aware that NASA had a space mission to the moon this summer?  Here's a picture of the astronaut who landed on the moon, just this week.

Okay, maybe he didn't make it all the way to the moon, but he did make it to Cub Scout Day Camp.  The camp's theme was Space Odyssey. 

 Trying on one of the "jet packs."  

He was in a group of 6 boys.  They decided to be "The Space Ninjas."   The boys decorated their flag all by themselves and then took turns carrying it and leading the group to each station.  

 Logan was very excited to do archery,

 and BB guns.  He'd never shot a BB gun before. 

He loved it. 

 He also participated in a flag ceremony,

 and wood working. 

 He'd seen some boys with wooden, fold-able stools.  He couldn't wait to make his, but it turned out they were just for the Webelos.  He's not a Webelo.  He's with the Bears now.  So his group made toolboxes.  He was very disappointed at first.  Now that it's done though, he's enjoying his toolbox.  
 

I volunteered to help with Logan's den, which meant that Taylor got to participate in the Tag-Along Program.  They all wore bright yellow shirts and had all kinds of fun crafts and games to do while big brothers and/or parents worked at Day Camp.

Taylor and the other Tags got to look through the same telescopes the scouts looked through during one of their stations.  The telescope Taylor is looking through is a special one that allows you to look at the sun! 

Taylor loved Day Camp.  She was so excited be able to go to her own camp too.  

Day Camp was only Monday through Thursday, so today the kids spent all morning at the dining room table singing camp songs and making construction paper projects. 

I'm glad they had so much fun at camp.
