As of May-ish, Kent has been Brandt's cub scout leader in the Wolf Den. Brandt has loved scouts and loved having his dad in charge. Today they got to attend day camp at Camp Jeremiah Johnson in Hobble Creek Canyon. To say Brandt loved day camp does not even come close to explaining how terrific he thought it was. He came back dirty and smelly with a beaded necklace, a rocket, and lots and lots to tell me. Brandt told me all about shooting bb guns, doing archery, being in a boat, shooting off rockets, using sling shots, having a rain gutter regatta, and a "sword" fight with a swim noodle sword he got to make and bring home. It was absolutely marvelous. Brandt talked about it for days afterwards, not just to me but to anyone we encountered. And the non-stop question since day camp has been, "Mom, when can I have a bb gun of my own?"
Many of the pictures below were taken by Brandt and aren't very good.

Grant Jensen, Connor Helquist, Brigham Richards, and Greyson Bushman (behind)
That's our boy in the hat.
Paul Moreland here in the blue shirt straining a bit to pull back the sling shot.
Brandt wants one of those too, but not as much as the bb gun.
It's apparently a primal cub scout scream.
These boys look ferocious.
And here they are a little less scary.
Our guys are on the front row.
From the left, the first two people I don't know, but starting at Brandt in the hat:
Brandt, three boys I don't know, Teva Mataoa, Connor Helquist, Brigham Richards, Paul Moreland,
Greyson Bushman, Britton Helquist, and Sam Ward
This is the only picture of Brandt at the bb gun range.
Apparently Kent didn't take very good pictures either.
That's some serious contemplation.
