Caden and his Webelos den met yesterday to learn some survival skills. They constructed a shelter using wood, rope, and a tarp. This required cutting supports using a pocket saw and learning to lash them together to build a structure. They also practiced building a fire using an emergency fire starter.
Nana and Boopa are visiting right now. Boopa will fly with Dada to New Zealand this evening for a research trip, and Nana will stay here to help corral the boys. We've had fun going to the farmers' market (including the train), hiking along the Newport Back Bay, and checking out the touch tanks at the Back Bay Science Center. Boopa brought a special book for the boys. It's called The Funny Thing, was his favorite book when he was a boy, and has recently been re-printed in a new edition after being out of print for many years. Of course, Boopa can read it better than anyone, complete with funny faces and funny voices.
