Breeanna kayaking with Erik Dahlstrom.

Breeanna doing Try Kayaking program with Erik Dahlstrom

Breeanna is helping to put the kayak in the water. She then helps it navigate out of the shallow end. Then she gives a thumbs up to the kayaker and says, " Have a nice day!"

Breeanna caught a ride on a kayak.

Breeanna was "helping" the staff dock and launch the kayaks.

Bryan is off to Weeblos Camp for 5 days with John Simpson, his den leader and other kids from his Boy Scout Troop 85. We packed: 1. Folding knife $1 2. Whistle/compass $4 3. Watch 4. Aluminum water bottle $2.50 5. Off Deep Woods insect repellent 6. Hand fan $2.50 7. Flashlight 8. Chocolate Chip Cookies 9. Socks, no underwear 10. Swim Suit, Goggles 11. Other equipment and supplies. It rained fiercely this evening about the time everyone was supposed to set up their tents at the campsite. I can imagine Bryan and Nick, John Simpson's son sloshing in the mud. The boys will have a hand at shooting, archery, swimming, crafts and nature hikes. Bryan will share a tent with Nick Simpson. This will be perfect as Bryan just finished reading Hatchet, a survivalist type book about a boy whose airplane crashed in the woods.

Breeanna got to assist with the CPR demonstration to her delight (Our stuffed animals are often having ailments so emergency rescue knowledge will be very handy).

This guy with troop 375 was amazing. He withstood the smoke and heat to cook our food for us on an already sweltering hot day.

Breeanna caked in mud. She had a morning of Nature Play at Hills and Dale Metro Park and now, a day with Troop 375 (1pm-7pm) at Sugarcreek Metro Park.

Bryan did scavenger hunting, learned to tie knots, start a fire, and cook hamburger meat in foil over an open fire.

Bryan had a day with the Boy Scouts of Troop 375 of Bellbrook Presbyterian Church at Sugarcreek Metro Park because Bryan is enrolled in the Big Brother Big Sister Program of Dayton.

Breeanna had a play date with Sarah, Tina Jordan's adorable little girl.

Breeanna is giving the stuffed animal a fashion makeover at Build a Bear.

Bryan was very amused with the different sounds that could be inserted inside a stuffed animal.
