Friday- We all arrived at about 7:00pm. We took the bunks apart. Then we played chess and relaxed. Next we played football. While the kids played football, the adults shaved potatoes and apples. When the boys were done playing football, they came in. They then played chess again. Then at 8:45 we played man hunt. We played man hunt until 9:30. When we got inside we played chess. At 10:30 we went to bed.
            Saturday: Everyone woke up at 7:30am.  The adults started cooking breakfast.  It smelled real good.  Meanwhile, the kids played chess on a wonderful handmade chessboard.  The kids cooked their own breakfast when the adults were done.  Breakfast was served!!!  We had breakfast pizzas.  A quick ceremony followed our meal.  Next up, the younger scouts worked on their service project (cleaning a large area of sticks and debris).  The troop followed up the project with a lively game of Frisbee golf.  When we finished with Frisbee, we moved on to a game of football.  After an exhausting morning we worked on lunch.  We had nachos with salsa, cheese, and meat.  We followed up lunch with more football, although some were tired and sat back and relaxed.  Some of the scouts played soccer for hours while others had to go on “KP” duty.
            Dinner was our annual Thanksgiving feast to celebrate our troop’s great times.  We had a semi-traditional feast with turkey, gravy, potatoes, stuffing, and other fixings.  We did this to thank our committee members for all of their dedication.  We followed up the meal with pie, yum, yum!  We also had great conversation during the feast. 
            After dinner, we gathered outside and made a blazing fire to which we sat around and enjoyed.  Mr. Amann and the leaders held an awards ceremony at the fire.  Nighttime football followed the awards and fire.  Finally, we came in for snack and rest.  We were tired and had lights out at 10:30.  During the night, some people snored and snored, but we managed to get some sleep.
            Sunday: Everyone woke up at 7:30 again.  Breakfast was already going.  We sat down to French toast and sausage.  Finally, we had to go outside and clean, followed by a full inside cleanup and packing.  Our Thanksgiving campout was over and away we went.
