Camp Buctuocs 2009

This is Nathan's first year in cubscouts and he is a tiger cub.  The big camping event for Alachua County is called Buctuocs.  It was really cold, but we all had so much fun it was crazy.  The boys got to do archery, fishing, fencing, BB guns, cooking on a fire, rock climbing and arts and crafts.  It was really a lot of fun and it was nice to get to spend time together as a family.  

This is a picture of Gavin fencing.  He loves doing this at home so he was so excited when he got picked to try at camp.



Here is Nathan trying to shoot a BB gun.  He was really disappointed when he didn't hit the target at all, but I guess that will teach him to listen when his dad is trying to teach him how to use the guns from now on.



Here is a picture of what I am pretty sure is Gavin's first time fishing.  He said this was his favorite part of the weekend.



Rock climbing.  Nathan tried to climb what I think was the hardest wall.  He made it about one third of the way up, and couldn't go any farther. 



Gavin climbed the easier wall, but he almost got all the way to the top which you can see was really high.  When it was time to come down I was a little nervous because he looked like he might be stuck.  I thought that someone was going to have to climb up and get him.  He finally let go and slowly drifted down like he was supposed to.  I was so proud.


We didn't stay the second night because it was so cold, but we waited until the ghost stories and s'mores were done before we left that night.
