After swimming, Corwin and I went over to his Den Mother’s (DM) house. They’re having a camp out in the backyard for the scouts. Corwin has been camping previously, but it was so long ago that he doesn’t remember (he was only three at the time). He was excited about it. We took over our tent and a sleeping bag for Corwin, although I forgot to include a pillow.
The evening was spent with the boys running around the yard and screaming, followed by the roasting of marshmallows. There were, amazingly, no burn injuries, although how Corwin managed to not poke out someone’s eye the way he was waving his roasting stick around I can’t understand. I definitely need to work with him on the idea that when you hand somebody else something sharp, it’s best to hold it out handle first rather than stabbing the sharp end directly at him and hoping he’s got good enough reflexes to dodge.
After the marshmallows, the boys got ready for bed and I managed to escape. I needed a good night’s sleep because it will be a busy day tomorrow, with a morning scout activity, swimming and a wedding.
