Hey everyone,

At Grimes we paddled a total of 25 miles over 2 day. This was a challenging and exciting trip.

When we got there we had some cracker barrel(cheese and crackers) and then went to bed. In the morning we got ready for our first 17 miles of paddling. Once we were on the river we paddled to a little beach area were some of us jumped in the water(I say some because it was cold outside and people like me didn’t want to get wet). Then we kept on paddling until launch were we ate some pizza wraps. After that we paddled to a tree swing were some of us swang into the water. This was a fun stop! Next we made it to the 10 mile mark, BLUE ROCK. Here we then paddled until we got back to camp. At camp we had a cook of, the fruity bats VS the meat sweats(these are patrols, like groups). The fruity bats made a breakfast casserole and chocolate croissants. The meat sweats made a philly cheese steak and a mud pie. All of the food was very yummy and fun to make. The casserole and the mud pie were made in dutch ovens. Then we went to bed.

The last day was only 7 miles and this time we started at BLUE ROCK! We paddled until we hit a tree swing, were some people swang. Then we got back in our boats and paddled until we got back to camp. Once we were at camp we at lunch, packed up, and went home.

That is all,

Hello,

Every year in the spring, our scout troops meet up with the church that is sponsoring them, East End U.M.C.. This lets the boys show off what they have learned. This is a very fun day where boy scouts attend there sponsoring church and give speeches and help the church with that days service.

This scout sunday we had some of our scouts stand up and improve their speaking skills by reading a variety of texts. Our Scout Master(David Booth) talked about the importance of scouting, and how we have been with the church for over 100 years. This is a very fun day that our scouts do every year!

Thanks for reading,

Hello,

We had a great time skiing at Perfect North. Once we got there we had some cracker barrel(crackers, cheese, and grapes.)

We got there very late so after cracker barrel we went to bed. In the middle of the night the fire alarm went off and that woke everyone up(there was no fire. Everyone was safe). In the morning we had breakfast, picked up our sack lunches, and started to go to the slopes. We all skied till lunch. We did many fun slopes! Once we got back at lunch, we played some bacon-opoly. Then we head back out to ski. For dinner we ate a the ski lodge, and then we all had the option to do night skiing(everyone did it). For night skiing they turned on big flood lights so it was very bright! After that we headed back to the lodge, were we had more cracker barrel. That night there was no fire alarm going off, so we all got a good night’s rest. For the next day we had breakfast and picked up are sack lunches. We had another fun day of skiing and many big milestones for peoples skiing abilities’. After that we headed are way back home and on the way ate at Culvers!

This was a very fun and exciting trip!

Hello everyone,

For this trip we went to Cumberland Caverns. It was a very fun and different trip.

When we arrived we took a mile hike and then went in to the main cave. This was like a big open hall with a huge room at the end. Once we got to the room were we would sleep, we dropped our items.

We then had another mile hike to the cave we would be going through. Once we got there the entrance looked like this. (see below)

As we went through the cave it got narrower and narrower. About half way though we got to hear a very scary story, but it was a fun. (see below)

After the story the cave started to get narrow. Soon after we hit “Lemon Squeeze”. This was a very tight and long part of the cave. It was very fun though. Luckily we all made it out though. After we got out we ate and played uno. (see below)

After we played uno we went to bed, and had very little sleep because of the noise. Overall though this was a very fun and different trip for everyone.

That is all
