Finally, all the planning/meetings/emails and everything in between will come to an end, as Hubby is off camping with the Cub Scouts today!
Hubby took over the role of Akela for our local branch of Sea Scouts Cub pack at the begining of the year. Although he works almost 90 hrs a week, (even more at harvest times), he felt he needed something to do and focus on other than the farm. He is planning on staying with the Cubs until all of our children have completed their time there and moved onto Sea Scouts. This will be another 9 years by the time Baby girl has moved up!!
Hubby, one of his assistants and another local Cub pack have been planning this camp for ever (or so it seems!) Contless meetings, emails, phone calls, copious amounts of paperwork, vast amounts of head banging against walls and gallons of wine have gone into the planning of this camp!
But finnaly, the time has come, bags are packed, the Landrover is jam packed with tents, gas bottles, cooking equipment and everything else you could possibly imagine for camping - along with quite a few thing which you couldn't!
Eldest son has his ruck sack cramed so full, it is the size and weight if a small child, and shold he try to stand up straight whilst it is on his back, he will almost definately topple over backwards!!
Middle son and Youngest son are going to camp over night Saturday, as they are officially not yet Cubs, but as their Dad is Akela, they can go as Beaver Scouts for just a couple of days.
So, the weekend will seem very strange as it will be just Baby girl and me! Ahh, peace and quiet!!
