Silver Lake Scouts!

We finished the parade route, dropped the float off at Mom and Dad's and headed up to Silver Lake for Silver Lake Scouts!  This is a newer tradition in Tom's family and one that I am growing to love, even though it involves camping in the WOODS!

Vince eating BEANS . . . his favorite!
Off for a walk around the loop . . . Teddy was pushing Vince on the little four-wheeler because it ran out of batteries . . . what a guy!
 I told Tom taking this bag of candy was over-kill for just 2 days, but it was GONE by the time we left!
Russ and Tom prepping the meat . . .
Vince and I went home for the night and Tom and Grace camped.  This is Sunday morning when Vince and I got back to camp . . .
Tom making breakfast . . .

Kennedy and Grace with their pollywogs . . .
 Grace and Jessi . . .
 Taking a walk/ride down to the lake . . .
 More pollywogs!




 Grant, Taryn, Grace and Tom . . .
 Grace got to go in the paddle boats with the BIGS!


Aunt Karen, Melissa and Angie celebrating that they got the boat in and out of the water by themselves successfully!
Heading back to camp . . . it was HOT out by the lake, but glorious at the campsite because of all the trees and shade.  
 Grace watching Teddy man his squirrel trap . . .
The meat was finally ready . . . they had been at it since 3 or 4 in the morning!
 Darryl, Russ, Carl and Tom . . . the master barbequers!
The big kids make badges to hand out . . . Grace got "cutest little girl" and a "bikers badge".

Tom got the "Best Badger" (the highest honor!) award . . . here he is making his acceptance speech!  


It was a wild weekend going from making the float to Camp Run-a-Mucka to the parade and then straight to Silver Lake . . . but such awesome family memories!
