CAMPING W/ BOY SCOUT TROOP



I'm going to tell you a story about going camping at Recapture Reservoir. First, we went to Clark’s to shop for food and stuff to make dutch oven cobbler. Then all the Boy Scouts in my troop hooked the trailer to dad's Durango, put our food in the cooler, and off we go! When we got there everybody starts setting up their tents. Next, we collect wood for the fire, I got a piece of tissue and my lighter, started the tissue on fire and put it on the wood to start the fire. After the fire is started all of us grab a kayak and go out to the freezing cold water. 

Some of us fall in the water, like I did. But, it was still fun to kayak. After that all of us brought the kayaks onto the shore and dumped the water from the boat. We were ready to eat so we started cooking the cobbler and root beer rice and chicken. Yummy it was delicious! We ate and ate and ate and then told stories. I told them about the hot air balloon festival in January. After we finish telling stories we get a plate of dutch oven chocolate cobbler.

When it got dark, we all sang songs and then went to bed. In the morning we got up and made breakfast and went kayaking again, this time everybody went this time it was a blast.
