Every day they had to do different jobs. On this morning, Kendall and Kanta had to cook breakfast. Sometimes they cooked, sometimes they cleaned, but they always had a small job to do. Probably their least favorite part about camp!
We did a five mile hike on Wednesday. It was obvious that Kanta was strong, because he stayed in front and never looked tired...
...Kendall and Kanta at the top...
...and the entire troop at the top of the mountain!
Playing with fire. That's what boys do!
Fishing on Wednesday. Just another day of fun at the lake - no fish :)
Kanta and Benjamin playing a game where they try to knock each other off of the bench.
In this game, the boys had to figure out how to get all of them over a "fence". The rule was that nobody could touch the fence or they had to start over. Here they are trying to help the biggest boy get over the fence...
...and this was Kanta's turn to get over the "fence". Looks just like a superhero!
In this game, the goal is to throw a log as far as you can...
...and this is after he threw the log. Watch out, he is very strong!
Kendall and Kanta made bows and arrows at their archery class. Kanta decided the best way to carry the bow was to tuck it in the back of his shirt...
...and this is Kanta using his bow and arrow to attack the bad guys!
This is a game where you have to try to push a rock with a big stick into your opponent's hole, and not let them push the rock into your hole. Kanta was really good at this game. Ok, Kanta was really good at every game!
Kanta waits in line for the really good food...mmmmmmm!
On our way to go fishing - what a crazy group of fishermen!
Fishing in the evening - but like always those fish were too smart for us :)
Having fun around the campfire at night!
On the last day of canoeing they had to "swamp" the canoe, which means intentionally flipping the canoe upside-down in the water and then turning it upright again. They had already flipped the canoe upright before I arrived to take pictures, but you can see the boys in the background were still having trouble!
They were so cold from the lake water that as they returned to camp they ran to each sunny spot they could find just to stay warm.
They learned skills at different classes. This one was leather work, and in another class they learned wood carving.
Kendall and Kanta worked very hard every day to get better at archery...and had fun at the same time!
One of the competitions was called "Ninja Destruction" (a game our family loves to play), and it turned out that Kanta was very good at it!
It was such a hot day that Kanta decided to cool himself off...
...and got a little help from Patrick to get even cooler!
Casting to catch the big fish...but we never caught one :(
Fishing after the rainstorm and saw a perfect rainbow!
Last morning - Kanta and Kendall are honored to hold the troop flag!
