Scout Camp

My husband took Jacob on a scout camp out Friday night. It rained, of course. Some of the scouts were having a difficult time lighting the propane stove. Jacob exclaimed in disgust, “You’re going to melt the polar ice caps!”

Once my husband told me this story, Saturday night made more sense. I took Will downstairs to watch TV before he fell asleep. Jacob was watching a show on Scientific America on Alaska’s warming environment. He was very excited it. He said that he’d only seen part of it before and wanted to watch the rest. I had planned on watching something highbrow like Survivor but changed my mind when I realized how interested Jake was in the show. It ended up sucking me in too.
