School's End

J ended school this year with field day and a bowling trip. Awards were held this afternoon. J earned an award for reading at least 100 AR points in Newberry Award books. He also made all A's for all four quarters. We were so proud! We celebrated with dinner at the restaurant of his choice. Way to go J!

Last den meeting of the year

Nana fun

We have the best dog in the world...the most patient anyway!

And you wonder...

where the stereotypes come from (check out the feet.)

Last minute

opportunity to race in the district pinewood derby race. District does not have the program our pack has that tells time and mph so I do not have hard statistics to report, but Jack raced through the 6th round. It was nice since it's his last opportunity to race. He'll age out next year.

Gorgeous day

today. Sarah got to try out her new BIG bubble wand.

Fashionista

Sarah has begun to assert her opinion as to what she wears.

Scout Camping

S led a scout campout this weekend. The boys earned several badges. One fun activity was planting seedlings, something S did 30+ years ago when he was a scout.

The boys cooked their own meal: the "cowboy" or "hobo" meal where you put a hamburger patty, potatoes, carrots and onion in tin foil and place it in the coals. It was amazing how many boys who said they weren't going to eat it actually enjoyed it.

Rain came Saturday night. The true campers stayed the course and hung their tents to dry the next day.
