Ben at cooking camp
Ben goes to cooking camp. Ben becomes BFF with camp dog. All the kids get the chance to send pictures from camp. Other kids send pictures of the food they made or things they’ve done at camp. Ben sends pictures of the dog. Oddly, this doesn’t surprise us at all.
Makin’ pancakes
Ben wanted to make pancakes this morning. He asked me to make the batter, but he pretty much made himself a full stack of pancakes on his own. They looked nice too!
People never believe us
We were looking for Tolstoy last night and found him in Ben’s bed. He tends to go there when Ben’s away. There is a child size hole in all the crap in his bed. That’s all the space he has to sleep in. And not shown in this picture are polar bear and beaver (who are with him at scout camp), the two giant ikea sharks, snowman blanket from Scottsdales and the stuffed wolf we always think is a real dog from Smythes.
Scout camp 2018
And he’s off for another scout summer camp. This time, he seemed pretty excited to go. He’s been up since 5:30… He is so Katy’s son though. Nervous stomach, manic displacement, “there, I’ve interacted with a human being!” [actual quote, that last one]

Living with my son
This! This! It’s like he sees into out house!
Toques Junior Apero
Ben’s cooking class had an apero, and they all prepared the food that was served. Quite impressive, and tasty! We’re all super happy to have found him a cooking activity. It was actually harder than expected.
Hit him! HIIIIIIT HIMMMMMMM!
Ben wanted to go on the bumber cars. Note, bumber cars, not dodgems. Switzerland is not ruled by a bunch of elf’n’safety pansies. At first, he was all “nooooooooooooooooooooooooo”. After a couple of minutes, he turned into a blood-thirsty maniac who was yelling “HIT HIIIIM! HE LIKES IT!!”
Future blackmail picture
I’m just leaving this here for myself, to use in years to come. We’ll have lots of things to talk about with Bean’s first partner.
Impromptu beach BBQ
Bean has been haranguing us to go grill sausages over a fire on the beach, so that’s what we did today. Honestly, I had much more fun than I expected to. The weather was just right, the setting was beautiful, the lake was super quiet and the sausages tasted just as they should.
