Last Day of Scout Camp

Michael finished up his week at scout camp today.  He really liked it.  It sounds like they had a lot of fun.  He is getting better at the BB range.  He even won a pin for a center shot.  He got to go with his best friend so I  think that made things easier for him, or maybe me.  I hope he will be excited to go next year too.

Nicole was in charge of taking the pictures.  I'm hoping one of the other mothers got some good ones.

Fouth of July 2012

We headed to Jeanie and Mike's for the fourth of July.  Bonnie was able to go with us and I am so happy she was able to get out into the sand. 

Of course the kids had fun too.

Cub Scouts Family Cook Out and Graduation

It is probably the hottest day of the year and we had to go out and have a campfire.  In all fairness we should have had the graduation several weeks before but there was a mix up on the reservations.  The cook out had to be changed.  We had planned to have the cook out at Quail Hill but at the last minute we had to scramble for a new place.  We ended up going to Turkey Swamp Park. 

Ed spent days working on a lighting system for the fire.  He used a rocket engine to light the fire.  He had the thing working perfectly at home and we he got to the park to actually do the ceremony and it didn't work when he needed it to.  Even though it we unbearably hot I think the kids enjoyed it.  I hope to convince the pack committee to do a water theme for graduation next year.
