Our little Scout

Kimball is always saying he wants to be a boy scout so he can accompany Joseph on his Boy Scout adventures. Last night we had another camping adventure but this time we moved the tent outside. Joseph said it was a little chilly but they survived the entire night outside!

Here they are this morning by their tent.


Joseph completed the Boy Scout adventure by taking Kimball with him to help with an Eagle Scout project. The project is to make a hiking trail. I'm not sure how much help the two will be but they are together. When Joseph asked Kimball what he wanted to wear Kimball said "Patches and a brown shirt." He knows a Boy Scout has a patch! Joseph sewed an old patch on one of Kimball's sweatshirts and he was thrilled.

Kimball also said that he needed to take food on his hiking trip and Joseph asked him what kind of food he wanted to take. Kimball said "Galletas" which means cookies in Spanish. Again we humored him and let him take a few cookies and a bottle of water in a backpack.

Here is Scout Kimball ready to blaze a trail.


Here is Kimball with his patch.


And here is Kimball's backpack with the water and galletas inside. We let him wear the smallest backpack we could find but the straps still drag on the ground at his feet. The shoulder straps barely stay on his shoulders; it's a good thing it has a chest strap to hold it on him. I love it!
