Pop Corn Blitz

It was a chilly day today and we got only a few of the kids to come out and sell pop corn.  We didn't sell a lot but we made more in donations.  How can you resist that cute little face?

Quail Hill Catch and Release

We headed out to Quail Hill for the Fishing Derby.  Ed spent most of the time fixing the fishing lines.  We didn't catch any fish.  They family next to us kept pulling fish out like every minute or two. 
Michael and his friend had more fun playing with the worms.


I sat on a bucket and was trying to crochet a blanket fast to keep me warm and towards the end I did go down closer to the water and caught a frog and a couple of tadpoles for the kids to hold that way they didn't feel to bad about not catching a fish.  Then they had to release them pack into the water.

Doing laundry

These are just a few of the things I pulled out of my kids pants pockets today.

The first Wolf Den meeting

Our first den meeting was feat of skills.  The kids had to do a few exercises.  I bought the kids gym mat for them.  I love this picture.  Michael jumped out of the way and fell back into a pile of book bags.
I have a lot of great picture of the kids playing and racing.  I'm trying to use only the pictures without the kids faces in them.
My son who is not athletic at all let his best friend drag him to the finish.  We also taught the kids how to fold the American Flag properly and the parts of our state flag and what they mean.
The kids also made a banner for their den with their hand prints on it.  Here are some moms trying to glue everything on.  The glue would not hold very well.  I had to buy three different types of glue to get it to hold.
Here is the banner with all the hand and letters re glued.  I just have to sew the pocket for the pole on top.  I'll probably take it with me to the pop corn sale so it will give me something to do while I have to sit around for a couple of hours.
