Boy Scouts Family Weekend Camping Trip

This past weekend we went camping with the Boy Scouts of Troop 43 at Scott County Park. It was pretty warm. We did have a severe thunder storm while we were there and was locked down in our tent. Praise the Lord the rain tarp worked well. The older Boys Scouts and Eagle Scouts did demonstrations such as, knot tieing, splitting and chomping wood properly, building things out of sticks, putting up a tent, first aid in the outdoors. We ate dinner together and after dinner Riley took off with some of the other biys and their father's to play and he quickly came back injured. He fell straddling a bar injuring man land and was screaming as he went down and hit his mouth and chipped off his front permanent tooth. He said man land hurt until he saw his tooth flying out of his mouth. He did find the piece. We called the ER adn they said that since he wasn't the whole tooth that there was nothing to be done. So we stayed and Riley was able to participate in the "Bridging Ceremony" He earned his Wolf Badge. He got to see what he looked like in the mirror and thinks he's cool. He shows it to everybody. We are going to the dentist much to his dismay. We all had a good time. The family next to us, LeAnn and Jody we found out were born and raised in Traverse City, Michigan and go back every year. They have a family cabin in Kalkaska County. They have been in Iowa for 11 yrs. We had lots to talk about in our old stomping grounds. Cheyenne really enjoyed the mud and dug her toes in and made a mess.
