The alarm was suppose to go off at 6:30am, but our cats, Figgy and Kickin, woke us at 6:00am playing with a plastic bag. I got up and put the cats in the living room with the bag and went back to bed. The alarm went off and I slipped out of bed and made a pot of coffee. I took a shower, shaved and then had a nice strong cup of coffee.
Our plan today was to drive to see our grandson with his scout troop 324 at Camp Bartle. As we got into the car Flash and KA-BOOM it began to rain. I just knew we would end up standing at the camp with it raining. We drove to Camp Bartle which is located just outside of Osceola, MO and as we drove into the Reservation the rain stopped. The grounds were wet and muddy but the visit turned out to be a great time.
Our grandson, Spencer, seemed to be one of the most popular boys in the troop and the scout leaders said he was fully into what was going on at camp. He was working hard to earn his badges and complete the tasks assigned to him.
My wife, Kat, and I left soon after lunch and left Spencer to show his mom, dad, and brother and sisters around the camp. We headed towards home but made a couple of stops on the way. We stopped in Clinton, MO and went to a couple of Antique and Flea Malls. Kat found some things she wanted and at our final stop we found our other grandson, Kia, a birthday present.
As I was walking through the last Antique store I turned and there it was. The perfect gift for a 4 year old. Imagine the fun he will have wearing this around the house or to pre-school. We are sure his mom is going to be thrilled with another great gift idea from papa.
