Mr. 11's best friend G is moving away and we've been trying to squeeze in some extra time with his family because we're going to miss them so much! Mr. 11 invited G for a sleepover and they had a great time hanging out together and it was amazing to reflect on how much these 2 guys have grown up over the years. There were some Minecraft battles, some Playmobil stories, and time to hang out but not enough sleeping! After lunch we tried to pack up for our first cub scout camp-out while keeping the 5 boys in our house somewhat quiet (and inside) because our upstairs neighbors were having an open house (another sad move for us - but at least they're only moving 15 minutes away rather than 1500 miles). We had hoped to be on our way earlier but it just didn't work out.
We snuck out finally around 2, got G home, and then headed out to do some camping. It was a great group of Tiger Cubs (Mr. 7's compatriots) and we hiked, cooked over a campfire, played hide and go seek in the woods, told stories around the fire, and slept in a tent. It was definitely a trial run for us but the boys have been asking when our next camping trip is since we returned (especially Mr. 4)!
Sunday afternoon we managed to squeeze in a little soccer and then dinner with 2 of our favorite people! Hard to beat such a great weekend although Monday morning was a bit rough getting this crew out the door!
We were camping, too!
