Camp Parsons

I made a trip to camp parsons this week to visit a few troops up there. i was able to snap some shots from the trip as well. The mugs are from inside the trading post. the second is the buddy board. and the third is a scout bathroom.

camping

This last weekend we went camping as a family. everybody in the family was there execpt my one sister stuck in california. Let me tell you it was hot and muggy. Cole recieved 8 mesquito bites on his face plus another 18 across other parts of his body. We also learned that three legged dogs can swim.

Clallam county fair (as i saw it)

Today was kids day at the clallam county fair. this meant they were free and rides were half price. so we went. i had a good time and so did rob and the kids. cole was a bit upset about not being able to ride most of the rides especially the car looking ones. i'll post some more of them at the fair tonight but for now here is what struck me interesting at the fair.

I got a new calculator

Now before you get too excited for me just know that i have been on the look out for a calculator that matches my personality. Today my friends I have found that calculator. this baby even comes with a leather case for portability. no fancy algebra functions on this find. I can't wait to pull this out at my next staff meeting when we are asked if anybody can add the numbers on a calculator. I know that you are jealous but it is not for sale.
