2011-Day1-Off We Go!

Once again, the scouts are off to a great start – just not at the planned 7:30 AM SHARP we were shooting for!  Mrs. H was the most popular arrival, as she showed up with donuts and coffee.  Mr. G gets the late arrival award, but at least he was legitimately pulling the trailer and icing down the coolers.  Mr. C showed up with our freshly made and laundered t-shirts.  Gingy showed up with a huge box of cookies.  

Pastor was on hand for our prayer and blessing, and then we formed a human line of scouts carrying the food boxes and gear into the trailer.  If you have ever seen ants carting off an entire picnic to their hive, you would know what that might look like – only ours was admittedly less organized.

Unfortunately, both people who were to bring propane tanks forgot them, so Mr. C split off from the caravan only 1 mile into the journey to rectify that and catch up with us on the highway.
