Fear Factor Camping and other Holiday tidbits!

Big Guy went camping this past weekend with his Boy Scout Troupe.

Who knew Boy Scouts were so involved.

It's strange watching Big Guy embark on journeys without us.

I'm not sure that I like it,

but I digress.

Anyway, after some very lovely weather,

Mother Nature must have looked at her calendar and realized it was December 

therefore it should be colder in New Jersey.

Right in time for Big Guy to camp.

We are campers, so fear not he, as all Boy Scouts are suposed to be, was prepared. And to be doubley certain; Dear Hubby got him a mummy type sleeping bag designed for the cold.

Big Guy was toasty warm, although he did say there was frost on his sleeping bag.

Inside it though, he felt like he was in his room.

Now this is not the Fear Factor part of his camping trip.   Why, I have no idea; but they decided to have menu of Venison Stew, Elk sausage, phython and for desert scoripion lollipops.   They called this, "You are what you eat."   Not me.   I call it fear factor camping.   Parents were invited to stop up for dinner since they were camping close to home.   I declined and too Middle and Little Guy to Cracker Barrel.   Dear Hubby went up.    He said it was the best sausage he ever had.   Big Guy enjoyed it too as well as the stew.   Python apparently is very chewy and not that tasty.  You think?   I could have told you that without trying it.   I'm not sure that anyone really finished their lollipops but did try it.   Another YUCK!

Then when all my chickens were home to roost, we got to decorate our tree.   Somehow all the ornaments are clumped together.   I'm sure there will be a day where my tree is perfect and that will actually be a sad day because that means I don't have little hands to help.

Christmas is in full swing with cookies baking, dough resting in the fridge, and preperations being made for this years Gingerbread Houses.   I will post pictures tomorrow of previous years homes.

Live, Laugh, Love

and

Scrap it all!
