Christmas in the Woods

James' Boy Scout troop held their annual Christmas in the Woods this past weekend. They decorated their shelters with Christmas lights.

The scouts have a feast for Saturday night dinner. Family members are invited to come and join them. Hannah & I went up for that. The boys cooked many of the dishes in dutch ovens over hot coals.

Those potatoes were yummy!

The leaders got up early on Saturday morning to smoke beef, pork, and turkey for the feast.

After dinner, we went down to the campfire.

Representatives from the Sons of the American Legion helped with the flag retiring ceremony.

The camp fire was huge! It kept getting hotter and hotter as they put more flags in the fire. We had to keep moving our chairs away from the heat.
