Thursday - Hollywood day

For the Hollywood themed retreat at dinner time, Troop 28 had 5 paparazzi photogs following a budding young starlet, played by Tommy K. He really has a future in costume design. The paparazzi also swarmed their favorite staff member and chased him around the parade field trying to get his picture. All in great fun. Other troops had a red carpet entourage, and a visit by Bruno. The staff also dressed the part, with Snakes on a Plane, another playing a "green screen" and standing behind all the staff doing announcements, and a spotlight. Batman made an appearance, along with several staff who we couldn't figure out what they were.

Dinner was chicken and potatoes, one of the better dishes. During dinner, Matt and I drove into Lake George to pick up a car load of pizza for the staff at camp. The pizza employees were a little confused when we told them we were there to pick up the pizza's but not to start putting them in the car, because we wanted to order dinner (we left before dinner was served). The staff really enjoyed the pizza, and wanted to convey their thanks to you for sponsoring it.

Friday, we'll spend the day finishing up whatever is left to do on the merit badges for the week, and start to think about packing up camp.

Henry and William just walked by, and are on their way up to cooking to finish up their menu's. William is finishing up some kind of green candy which he's called an airhead. He's rubbing his stomach to indicate that its good, or maybe giving him a stomach ache. I can't tell. He's only on his third shirt for the week, and pretty proud. He forgot to change them every day. I guess he was too busy.

Henry has built up his stamina by running from area to area every day. He wants to work on passing the swim test for next year.
We're looking forward to the rest of the troop coming up on Sunday. Some of us have visited the other camp, and it looks really fun. We'll be moving in their on Saturday, then going to Lake George to do laundry and maybe a game or two of lazer tag.

Thats all for now.
