Cub Scout day camp first day .... sort of....

The day started early with a lot of excitement.

We left the church at 7:15am and headed south to the campgrounds.

The morning was cool and breezy

which is always a welcome combination at day camp.
We head to our first class in "Orienteering",

where we learned to use a compass and read a map. Then on to fine motor skills where we made and painted dream catchers.
That's when things outside started happening.

lightening, thunder, wind and then the hail.

We stayed in our rock shelter

huddled under the tables

for about an hour.

They cancelled the rest of day due the fact that there was some repair work to do!

This is the size of the hail we found when we got out from under the tables and out of rock shelter!

Every BODY rode the storm well, but the van didn't fair so well. This windshield and a lot of hail dents. The ride home was rough also. We headed into another hail storm. It hailed so much that it was piled up on the highway and blown to the edge of the road. It looked like snow drifts on the side of the road.

We're home now!
