Halloween 2018
Sam opted to skip trick or treating this year in favor of hanging out with his friends. He had a blast pestering others in the neighborhood.

Scout Camps
Both Sam and Max had scout camps this month. They also happen to be on the same weekend. Becky went with Max to the Mom and Son Cub Scout Camp at Camp Rokilio and I went with Sam to LTC for their Fall Camporee.
Max had a ton of activities to do throughout their full day and came home with a bag full of goodies that he and Becky made together. They got to hold snakes, shoot bb guns and archery. They made a bird feeder and a branded log (like an old cattle brand) with the BSA logo on it. They capped off the weekend with a candle light hike through the camp. They also had lots of good food.
Sam's camp was focused around learning with first responders do. He had 4 sessions for the day and learned how police officers defend themselves from "bad guys". He learned how a paramedic identifies what is wrong with a person when they come upon a person in need of help and the basics of providing CPR and using an AED. He was even able to put together a firehose and use it to knock over traffic cones at their fire training facility. Boy Scouts have to provide their own food at camps, so the meals were pretty simple, but the fun part was watching and helping them prepare the meals as a group. They really help each other out and don't leave anyone out of any aspect of the camps.

Another Broken Arm
Sam has once again, broken an arm. Not the same one as the first time though. No scooters were involved in this one. It happened in gym class during a game of kickball. He tripped over another kids foot.
The exciting part for Sam is that he can still play football this season. He has to wrap his cast during games so that he doesn't hurt other kids.
Oh and the photo is from a Boy Scout Camp. He was learning about paramedics and volunteered to be hooked up to the machine that tracks vitals.
