Jon was able to spend one day and two nights with the scouts. Caleb told his dad that the spiritual thoughts he shared with the boys were a special part of the week for him. He said they helped him learn a lot. What a great compliment.
They evidently had a great father-son talk while they watched the sunset.
Caleb tried starting the fire with flint. He came really close but couldn't quite get it started.
I hear the food was less than desirable most of the week and the leaders were a bit concerned with how little Caleb ate. But he liked being the chef when he got the chance.
Flag ceremony:
Patrol games...which Caleb says they won "pretty much every event." 
Caleb hears music and feels the groove...
He arrived home exhausted but had a great time and earned 3 merit badges, too.
On the ferry coming back home...skyline of the city in view.
He showered and downed the majority of a large pizza.
I was so excited to see him, a week is a long time! I hugged him tight. And now I feel whole again.

What a beautiful camp, with a lot of history. I'm glad you had a good time, except for the food, Caleb. Congrats on the Merit Badges. Pretty neat that you also got to ride on the ferry.
Looks like a super fun week for Caleb! I'm so glad that Jon could go up too and have that special time with Caleb.
Thanks for posting--it's so neat to see our youth have fun and learn so much! They are a great bunch, your son included!!
Looks and sounds like a great week for Caleb! Brendan leaves in the morning for his...6 days...he's excited and I'm nervous.
