We experienced our first scout campout this past weekend. We loaded up the truck and headed to Cuivre River State Park. The men in charge had lots of stuff planned for the scouters.
We went on a hike. It's hard to tell in this picture but the park was beautiful. I couldn't believe all the colors of the leaves.
We helped gather prairie grass seed so the rangers could plant it in other places to help the vegetation.
We enjoyed relaxing and hanging out with new friends at our camp site. The best part of the camp out was the program Saturday night. It was too dark to get pictures but the scouts and leaders performed skits, told scout jokes and sang scout songs. Some of the skits and songs were absolutely hilarious. I don't think Jon and I have laughed that hard in a long time. It was great spending time together as a family.
We listened to a Forest Ranger talk about animals seen in the park. He let the kids pet a snake. Both Talynn and Chase thought that was awesome.

That looks so nice. I used to always enjoy camping with my family.
Sounds fun!
I'm so glad you got to see the leaves change colors. I hope it helped with the homesickness. We have been gone on vacation, so check out our blog soon to see our trip and Halloween! Can't wait to see your kids' costumes. Miss ya!
