The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Laura looks older with her new glasses and she was very happy to be able to see much better!

Laura was very excited to put a quote on her new chalkboard for the first time!

Camp was successful for all the Kassels!  I drove to Finbrooke Girl Scout camp to pick up Laura today and she is already talking about next year.

She talked non-stop for about ninety minutes on the drive home.  She told me all about the activities, swimming, and camp traditions.  She told me that she was a little homesick, but she used my trick of counting the days backwards (5-4-3-2-1) instead of forwards (1-2-3-4-5) and that made it seem like she had less days left at camp.  I was having a hard time keeping up with everything she was saying until she just abruptly stopped talking.  I looked over to find this…

It was a refreshing nap because she proceeded to start over for Andy and Uncle Jeremy when we got home.  Love that she had such an amazing time!

Andy and John had a great time at Cub Scout Camp!  In fact, John is nearly done with all his requirements for his Webelos 1 rank.  He was a busy boy!  While unpacking them today, I took some pictures off my camera.  Here is John shooting a BB gun at the Pellet station.  He got to keep his targets and they are pretty impressive!

Here is John at Bouldering.  He almost finished the wall, which is impressive because only three boys have finished the wall this summer.

He also earned his archery award.

John was quite proud to have caught seven fish at the Fishing station.  This is the first of the seven.

Here is John at crafting.

The Kassel men are exhausted, but I can tell that they both really enjoyed themselves.  John is already talking about next year and Andy has told me just how proud he was of John these past few days.  John paid attention and worked hard at every station.  Way to go, John!
