Cub Scout Halloween Campout
My Bear Scout is getting excited for his Cub Scout Halloween Campout next month with his Dad. Today I set up what I thought his Cub Scout Halloween campsite will look like. I’m glad I decided to check to make sure the tent was alright to use. It wasn’t. The last person to use it packed the tent away wet, allowing mold to grow all over it. I ended up ordering a new tent from Target. It’s a good idea to check your tent before you go camping! I’ll be adding the “real” pictures after the campout in October. It’s a good idea to make a list of what…

Hobby Lobby Camping Finds
I was excited when I went into Hobby Lobby recently and discovered so many things for camping. If you are not familiar with Hobby Lobby, it is a giant arts and crafts store with tons of home decor to choose from. And currently everything in their “Spring” section is on sale 50% off. I was trying to contain myself and not buy everything I saw, but I did get a few things. There are still couple of items that I am going to go back and get, if they are still available, like that tablecloth. Everything seemed to be in my favorite colors of red and turquoise. It was hard…

Scout Summer Camp
Our busy summer has already started as we pack our oldest son off to scout summer camp. This is his third year of camp. Getting him ready should be easy by now, but there is always something last minute that needs to be done or found. The scout camp he is going to this year is located in Georgia. He has not been to this one yet and is excited to go. Camp Rainey Mountain is located in the northern part of the mountain range in Georgia. It is surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest on three sides. It looks amazing and I really hope he enjoys himself. This…
