I haven't posted here in awhile. I think I'm going to try starting to post here again. It helps me remember when I've done what and when.

Max has been in VBS this week.  He has really been having a good time and it turns out he already knew some of the kids when he got there.  I was very surprised at the HUGEness of Calvary Baptist.  I mean the VBS check in on the first day looked like some kind of major convention.  When I went to drop him off at the worship center I was greeted by ( Read more... )

The boys and I went to the zoo today.  It was hot on a stupid level. I guess it is a good thing they have a water play area.  Kim and I carpooled which is nice since gas is $4.00 a gallon.  The boys fed a giraffe and the birds, which made them happy, that and the running around in the water.  It was fun, but I was glad to get back into my air ( Read more... )

 Well, another busy day this summer.  First we went to see The Veggie Tales: Pirates Who Don't Do Anything at the free Regal Summer Camp movie.  It was very cute.  Both boys really seemed to like it.

Then, thank you very much to June, we went ice skating for free.  The boys each got a half hour lesson.  However, I totally spaced on the whole ice, it ( Read more... )

Today was the last day of Cub Scout Camp.  Max has had such a great time!  We were able to go and get them a little early to see them get thier awards.  Max earned a Junior USA Shooting Team badge for all of those bulls eyes.  I must mention here that not ALL of the kids earned this.  He also completed a big chunk of things for his Wolf badge for ( Read more... )

So, Max went fishing again today.  He also made a "fossil" out of plaster of paris.  He is having so much fun he said he wanted to stay two weeks.  Oh well, next year.

Here is a the lake where Max goes fishing.

So Max was back at the range today shooting BB guns.  He hit a bulls eye, and close to a bulls eye on the practice shot.  So I guess Max is a good marksman, of course his dad is taking credit for that.    He also made a leather necklace with a Wolf Scout symbol and his name.  He said that was cool since he had a big area with lots of tools and ( Read more... )

So apparently Max shot arrows and went fishing yesterday. When he came home he told me how much he liked archery.  He was VERY excited about it.  Now, when I went to drop him off this morning, his den leader told me he was very good.  He hit the target every time AND he got one of the only three bulls eyes.  How cool is that?

Max started Cub Scout Camp yesterday. He LOVED, loved, loved it!  He got to go swimming and do crafts, hike and meet new friends.   The theme is "Blast from the Past" and there are various time periods depicted on the camp t-shirt.  It is BRIGHT green and very cute, which is good since he has to wear it everyday.  He did a rubbing of the Liberty ( Read more... )
