Camp St. Isadore 2009

Here is the first night at camp... Team "Explosive Rockets" Team "Shark Tooth" Team "The Carpenters"
The older children took a raft trip with Pop and Dan. The river was too high for canoes. The younger children took a trip to the Circle S Ranch and had a great time too.
We did a service project...weeded and spread mulch in the Marian Grotto at the Family Center...in the rain. Nick caught this large mouth bass afterwards. Everyone was really excited...Ben cooked it for dinner and it was yummy! Building animal traps and a trapping contest was a part of the week. However, although rabbits and baby racoons were sighted, none were caught.
The kids did a bee project, researching, drawing, observing and then a presentation on the final night.


Here is a shot of the final family cookout...s'mores and more s'mores!

Future camper!


WE had a great time!

Love the photos! Thanks for sharing! The kids had a ball and even though I know he would have liked to have been there, it was nice to have some one-on-one time with Jake and Julia for a few days. :-) I'm so sorry we missed the Cooks...Jake's Cub Scout Camp threw a monkey wrench into the week. Hope to see you soon!

Although having just unpacked 20million photo albums maybe I should be content with computer viewing.
