With an attempted murder suspect on the loose in Tonganoxie, we picked Tyson up from a locked-down elementary school on Friday and headed to Perry Lake. Well ... that really wasn't why we went to Perry Lake. Truth be known, it was the perfect weather for some camping by the lake. Highs in the 70's ... ah, it was beautiful. And we didn't have to go far to get to the lake ... it almost came to us! Many of the campsites were still flooded from the flooding earlier this month. But we found the perfect, secluded site in the Slough Creek Campground on the east side of the lake (about 30 minutes from our house). We used the overnight get-away 
to go through our emergency preparedness kits and evaluate what we're missing and what needs rotated (including the MREs we had for dinner - simple to prepare and mighty tasty!). Tyson also completed his Outdoorsman pin for Webelos! The camping spirit lived long into the day as Tyson built his own tent with his new Cub Scout knowledge in the backyard - tick free![NEW pictures added to the photo album ... click here!]
