Keeping my camera out

I've decided to keep my camera out on the table or desk or even the kitchen island. Having it "safe" in it's bag meant that I was missing shots. So, even with my fear that Darcy will somehow pull it down on to the floor, I'm keeping it out. I even bought an HD camcorder, but didn't have it out in the open either, so was also missing great video opportunities. If it breaks, I've still got my trusty Pentax 35mm manual focus that my Uncle Bret gave me.

Scout Camp Here We Go!

My first big event as Scoutmaster is going up to Scout Camp. This year they had already signed up for Rancho Alegre, which is our local camp. I'll head up there tomorrow and stay until Friday. I only have 2 boys going this year, so we teamed up with SM 1st ward's Troop to have strength in numbers. They have 5 boys going. It should be a great week! I'm already beginning to plan next year's Scout Camp. I think we will go to Chawanakee, up at Shaver Lake. I went there for multiple years as a Scout and loved it. I've also thought about taking the boys out to Cherry Valley, which is the Boy Scout Camp on Catalina Island. That would be a blast.
