Three chartreuse buzzards …

Editor’s note: This post introduces a snazzy new feature to the blog: GimletGalleries! Click on the picture to view more photos of Thing One’s adventures at 11 year-old scout camp. We’re still working out the stylistic bugs, but hope you will enjoy the pictures.

On June 30-July 1^st, Daddy, my friend Drew, his dad Mike, and I went to Camp Pigott for 11 year-old Boy Scout Camp. We did many things, such as archery, rifling, swimming, putting wood in a position for a fire, and learning how to use knives, saws and axes. It was very fun going to Camp Pigott. I would like to go there again someday. There was a place called the trading post where you could buy things. There were fake rabbit’s feet that daddy wouldn’t buy for me and there were also Darigold frozen malts at the ice cream bar. They were soooooo gooooooood!!!

We slept in a cabin over the night and I uncontrollably fell off the bed (it was a bottom bunk bed because I didn’t know how to get to the top bunk). We learned about many plants and how they’re edible, like the skunk cabbage (it wouldn’t taste good though) and also there is the tree with leaves that are “nature’s toilet paper.”

At night, we had a show by the campfire. One of my favorite shows was the song “3 Chartreuse Buzzards”, when the dead tree actor was jumped on by the buzzard actors. Thing Two likes it when I sing it and throw my stuffed birds on top of myself. Another one of my favorites was the mosquito one where one person had a tent and one didn’t. The one sleeping outside was attacked by mosquitoes except for the last time. The person outside the tent slept in the tent, but the mosquitoes decided to attack the person in the tent.
