San Lorenzo Park Campout

This weekend was an awesome campout for boy scouts in San Lorenzo Park, down by King City. The main theme of the campout was patrol cooking, where each patrol fixes all their own food. Each patrol got their own campsite, and ours was called Cougar Cave. While we were there, we developed a patrol cheer with a bit of humor:

Cobras, Cobras,
in the grass.
Mess with us,
we'll bite your... ankles...

This was in addition to our normal patrol yell, Don't hiss us off!



We took turns cooking different parts of the meals. All the adults of the troop flocked over to our patrol because instead of things like hot dogs for dinner, we had cappellini noodles with butter-parmesan sauce and garlic bread.



On Saturday, when we were not cooking, we went on a hike around the park, and also looked at some historic agricultural museums...



...and had fun in the water. First we had a water balloon fight, but it lasted for about 5 minutes because we didn't have enough balloons. Then Malcolm revealed he had brought his Slip-and-Slide, so we had a lot of fun on that. We couldn't get it to inflate, so we just had to spray it with water to get it working.
