After the Storm

If you remember (ha ha), last year while Matthew was at Scout camp, it rained most nights. That was good because they could still do everything during the day, but bad because you can only imagine sleeping in a tent in the pouring rain. Matthew didn't seem bothered, but we had some worry, especially the last night which was especially bad.

This year, on the first night at camp, there was a storm that was worse than last year! All the boys had to sleep in the dining hall and all but 2 tents were blown down and everything not in plastic was wet! The 15 leaders with the troop sent out a request for more help the next morning. I was in Omaha (LOVED IT) so Ken took the other kids to camp and help set the tents back-up. I think part of the reason the tents blew over this year was from all the previous rain we had. Ken indicate it was VERY easy to put the stakes in the ground this year, which probably means the wind pulled them up pretty easily too.

Here is the site after the storm.
