12/29/17 Coon Bluff Camp

This morning it was cereal day. Papa took our picture just after Gram and Heidi went to the Temple.

Heidi and Gram did Initiatory for family names today.

Today we went on a special camp to Coon Bluff. Heidi asked the Shirts family if they would be willing to join David and I on a campout. Since Brother Shirts is an Assistant Scout Master it can count as an official camp towards the boy's camping merit badge. In the picture above (from left to right) are John Shirts, his boys Johnson and Rushton, Gavin, David and Ganon.

For dinner we made pizza after a method that Johnson learned from 11 year old scouts. We rolled biscuits onto the lids of number 10 cans, put on toppings and stuffed the lids in sideways. These ended up tipping over/ burning about half the time. The good news is that the parts that didn't burn/fall into the fire tasted great. Above you see Rushton with his successfully made pizza.

David took his turn to make a pizza.

Here is how they looked in the fire pit. David started the fire using the flint and steel that Papa gave us for Christmas.

The boys also had fun exploring and playing together. The Brother Shirts brought bocce ball and another game. I can't remember playing before but it was fun and pretty well matched across ages.
