Tallykeeper report for May 19, 2013

Last meeting was held on March 10, 2013. Spencer and John hosted.  The Little Braves bounced on a trampoline,  played with toy guns, and had lots of general wild running around!

For a craft we made a feather head dress with pirate stickers.

March - Most of the tribe went to the Monster Jam - Monster truck show.

March 23, some of the tribe meet at the Stanek’s land in Harnett County for bb's, archery, zip line, tire swing and hammock flipping.

April 13, most of the tribe again meet at the Stanek’s for more bb's, archery, zip line, tire swing and for an awesome low country shrimp boil.  We all camped and listened to owls, coyotes, and snoring Big Braves.

Friday April 27, most of the tribe headed to Camp Seafarer for the Arapahoe Nation Spring outing.  Saturday we fished, shot archery and bb's, paddled canoes, did fire ball tosses, and on an on! Some of the brave ones did the zip line many times.  We searched for gnomes and shark teeth and had a great time.  Saturday our cabin had a visiting turtle placed (upside down in a clothes pinned Doritos bag) by a group of little princesses. Luckily no one got salmonella.

Saturday night we listened to a scary story and watched fireworks while trying to stay warm in the windy night at Camp Seagull.

Sunday we got up and did it all over again.  Some took the ferry on the way home and had fun feeding the sea gulls.

After a snack of s'mores outside with marshmallows cooked on a real fire We made the unbroken circle for our closing prayer.

On November 18, most of the tribe meet at Camp Kanata for Fall Outing.  We took a nice hike together, some of us tried archery and canoes.  Big braves grilled hot dogs and hamburgers while the little Braves built a fort and had lots of fun.  After the sun went down, we all lined up and patiently waited.  The Little Braves and Big Braves walked past hundreds of flaming torches that lined the path to the lake.  After an opening ceremony with flaming arrows and exploding fires, Father and Son exchanged bear claws, with the Big Brave promising not to be selfish and to spend time with his little Brave.  The little Brave promised to be patient.  After the reading  of  all the tribes names, in which Skull and Crossbones yelled a hardly "arrgggh", the fun of Camp Kanata came to end.
