Rise, Egor!
The family went to a Girl Scout family camp outing in San Pedro this weekend. Nice camp, lots of cool things to do there (both in camp and nearby outside of camp).
Ina had her first chance to actually touch the Pacific Ocean on this trip. We had taken her to Laguna Beach on Labor Day, but only had time to get to the cliffs overlooking the beach and let her take some pictures. On this trip, she got to play in the sand and visit the local tide pools.
On Saturday night, the girls had a campfire. The girls were trying to come up with a skit and I made a couple of suggestions. The first suggestion was considered too gross even by their standards (which are much lower than I thought, but that is another topic). That skit was "A Hot Meal." I won't go into details, but those of you who know it understand when I say it is gross.
The one that they did like was "Rise, Egor." This was one of our favorites when we were in Boy Scouts. I have very fond memories of Lee as the mad scientist and Shoo as the Avon Lady. But I digress. The girls talked me into playing a part and I had the honor of being the first to die. The little girl that played the part of the mad scientist did a great job. Hayley played Egor and at the end of the skit had the audience cheering her on.
The campfire included the making of s'mores. This was another first for Ina and she seemed to enjoy it.
Ina is a great sport and is doing a good job of putting up with our kidding and even starting to return it. I don't think that camping on the sand is what she expected, but it is definitely a unique California experience!

See now, our favorite (that we made up) was "boy scout inventions."
They included:
the solar-powered flashlight (it worked this afternoon!)
Dictionary index.
Submarine with screen doors (to look outside)
Powdered water (just add water!)
Live organ donor card.
Among others..
So, Lee had to tell us "the Hot Meal." He still hasn't let us know about Rise, Egor (altho he laughed about it).
