Notes: |
We normally have gone to the dining hall at Camp
Russell for our Christmas diversion for the past decade, but that was
booked up for this weekend. It's good to break routine once in a
while though, and we had a blast. |
 |
We'd been to Henderson a variety of times, but never
inside, so we had no idea what we were getting into. It turns out
that although the building (the dining hall) is huge, we only get access
to a very limited part of it. It's heated (which is great), and
there are bunks. Not quite as luxurious as Russell, but no less
fun. |

We certainly ate well!
We were able to bring our normal camp stoves and all
our cooking equipment. Our pre-trip planning was a little weak,
but having a grocery store only 15 minutes from camp gave us the chance
to be creative.
We of course had our classic Monte Cristos and reubans
for lunch, as well as french toast for breakfast. Plenty of stuff
to drink.
And, per advancement requirements, three boys took
turns saying grace for the meals. For most, it was their first
opportunity to lead a group in a moment of reverence. Well done.
It was also great to welcome a new dad into the mix...
Mike Walsh. As you can see, he jumped right into the thick of
things, helping the boys prepare and serve the food. |
| The three dogs that joined us (Chance, Nova, and Trip) spent most of
their time either begging for food, playing in the snow outside, or
napping on somebody else's sleeping bag.
