Team Ostler: Camp Whitsett

Camp Whitsett

One of the best activities that we ever got to do with pack 219 was the Memorial Day weekend celebration at Camp Whitsett. This place was awesome! They provided all of the food as well as the tents. Activities included archery, shooting, rock climbing, ropes course, crafts, canoeing, fishing and swimming (if you were willing to get into the 50 degree lake). There was no end to the fun and entertainment that Camp Whitsett provided! It's an experience that we will hopefully never forget.

On the way we drove up with 2 of our favorite friends, Leslie and Aedan. We stopped at Sonic for lunch and the boys wanted to sun themselves on the sidewalk.

Jim and I and a few other adults did the ropes course. It was super fun. I can say that now, but at the time the heights were freaking me out a little! But I made it through in one piece and I would totally do it again.

The lake was freezing but in order to go out on the canoes an adult had to pass the swim test by swimming a couple laps in the ice cold water. I told Jim there was no way I was doing it so that left him. Can't have a sissy dad, no way! He did awesome!

All three of the boys made it to the top of the wall - even little Luke! I was a proud mom. Way to go guys!

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
