Jake Scout Summer Camp

Jake went to his first cub-scout summer camp. Erik went with him as he is not quite comfortable without one of us yet. They left on Sunday afternoon and returned Tuesday night. Jake had a blast. He did not like the rifle shooting to well but did awesome at the bow and arrow. They got to sleep in forts. Erik completed everything to earn the adult badge. There was one incidence. one of the boys told the rest to chew on the glow bracelets they had and to shake out the liquid on the walls of the fort and then it would glow all night. Jake decided that was a great idea until he got some of the liquid in his mouth and it did not taste well. One of the other dad's saw what they were doing and told them to stop because it was poison and that is where Jake freaked out. He had gotten a tiny bit in his mouth and even though he spit it out he thought that he was going to get sick and had one of his panic attacks. Erik had a hard time settling him down so took him to the camp nurse who tried to convince him as well that he was fine. But Jake knew better. So on to plan B. A baby aspirin. They told him that the aspirin would make sure that he did not get sick. He gobbled it right up and settled down and finished out the camp with no problems. He has so many stories when he came home and talked a mile a minute for days about camp and can not wait for next year.
