Emerald Bay Scout Camp

Lance was lucky enough to join the younger boys to Emerald Bay Scout Camp - out on Catalina Island. He went two years and was excited to go back. Now, normally you know that Lance does NOT let me take pictures of him. Luckily, he lets others take photos of him:).

Thanks to this leader, Bro. S., I have many, many pics of Lance at Scout Camp. I still need to figure out what I can do to repay him. I don't think I have EVER had so many photos of Lance for something. Boy, I owe him BIG TIME!

The scouts took a boat out to the Island.

Have you ever seen so many scout shirts at one time?!

Lance's home for a week.

Hmmmm. What does a 14 year old do with a crab?

Hmmm. Pointy, sharp claws. What would those be good for?

Oh, I got it. Let's see who will fall for it.

I guess I need to show them how to do it.

Waa - la. Earrings.

OUCH. How do you get it off?

Okay, maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Can somebody help me here?!

C'mon.

Ouch, ouch, ouch. ....hopefully a lesson was learned.:)

Lance did lots of canoeing.

Lots of goofing off.

Bro. S even took pics when Lance wasn't aware of it. Boy, I don't even know what to do with all these pics. Isn't he such a cute kid though?!

I guess I need to get some stealth lessons from Jason on how to take good candid shots and not let my subject know I am even there. The problem is Lance would be able to see right through me. He knows that I love photos of him.

I think he had a great time at Emerald Bay....he even earned some merit badges. Now....to get that Eagle Project going:). Thanks Jason (Bro. S.) for all the photos of my cute teenager. I'll cherish these forever.
