The day started well with someone fixing the water heater—allowing me to finally get a warm shower. I then packed up our gear into Mera so we would be ready to go right after dinner. I was also concerned that it might rain later and did not want to pack in those conditions; however, the rain still did not show.
The boys started their day at the BB gun range where Rowen improved his shooting accuracy considerably. They then practiced their den skit (for the closing ceremony that we did not attend). From there, they went and did some chemistry, creating “Elephant toothpaste” and oobleck. Rowen was extremely careful to not make any sort of mess and was concerned when he still got food coloring on parts of his hands due to the people around him.
Following lunch was the aforementioned bear incident. When they actually got around to playing bocce ball, Rowen managed to win a round. We then had another opportunity to canoe on the lake—which was considerably cooler this time around. We wrapped up their events by playing kickball. Before dinner, our group was the color guard for the closing flag ceremony.
Rowen was eager to go home, and asked me about it the entire day. We left after dinner, made a quick Costco run, and finally got home a little while ago. We had a good time, but it is so nice to be home.
