The Best Mother's Day Ever!
This weekend I took not one, but two boys, on a Scouting adventure. We went to White Water Challengers to go White Water Rafting on the Lehigh River in White Haven, Pennsylvania.
Here we are rafting down the river.
It was such great fun. It was the coldest rafting trip we've done to date. The temps only got into the high 50s/low 60s and the water was a chilly 40 degrees. We paddled for 5 hours and worked up a hearty appetite. Look what these ingenious Scouts prepared for dinner.
The Scouts cooked delicious Corn Chowder - part homemade - part store bought. It's a packaged soup mix by Frontier Soups.
My mother's London Broil Recipe with tin foil sweet potatoes and green beans.
Each campout our chef Scout prepares a "Scout Surprise". This time our gourmet chef made these delicious Campfire Bananas Foster by Major K Wood (another Scoutmaster). It's absolutely delicious. We substituted the pound cake with Nilla Wafers to make it slightly lighter fare.
We stopped for Sunday brunch at the Hibernia Diner on the way home and I realized I hadn't snapped a Scoutmaster Knitting photo - so we took this one at the diner.
It was a great Mother's Day weekend. The whole family is taking me out to dinner now... so I'll leave you with this. I hope you had a fantastic Mother's Day.
Wow! Great day: rafting, good meals, lots of friends. It's my kind of adventure!

That really does sound like fun - I'm Cubmaster here and we're going to Webelos Camp in July - we're really looking forward to it - it's at a lake and there will be canoeing but no whitewater - I'm hoping to get a lot of knitting done there too...

Looks like a really great time. The meal even looks ... fantastic!

What a great trip! I give you lots of credit in the camping out. My idea of camping is a Hotel 6!
