Grizzly Halloween

This is a scout event held at Camp Hansen. I attended Camp Hansen for years as a girl scout (even though it's a boy scout camp) and Gordie attended as a boy scout. So it's cool for us to go back with our family. We went two years ago, but skipped last year because of conflicts.

This time we were going to leave our youngest two (Zipporah and Peter) with Grandpa & Grandma Schroeder. But Grandpa just had quadruple bypass heart surgery. And Zipporah puked the day before they were supposed to go. We didn't want to risk a sick Grandpa so Gordie stayed home to watch the little ones while I went with the older kiddos. Even though it was a lot of work setting up tents and stuff, it was loads of fun.

Tents up

Rebekah's is the little one. She is very proud of her little backpacking tent. I got the red one to myself.

Samuel, Jacob, Paul, & Miriam all shared our other 5-man tent.
