Great America 2015

The boys had their first trip to Great America.

Max's 5th Birthday

Max turned 5! He had a really good day and got to spend it with his family and friends. Max wanted to have a Ninja Turtles themed birthday party, so we decorated for the theme and for his gift from us, we constructed some pool noodle ninja turtle weapons. Soft foam perfect for smacking your brother.

We ended the party with a trip to the community pool in town where the kids had lots of fun splashing, diving and swimming for a couple hours. Max was genuinely excited about his gifts and thanked everyone with giant hugs.

Cub Scout Camp - Rokilio 2015

Sam and I had our second Cub Scout Camp at Camp Rokilio in July. It was Sam's turn to be the experienced Scout since he had gone last summer. So we knew what to expect this time around. We did swimming, boating, bb guns and archery. On his free day, Sam learned to whittle and start a camp fire. He also earned his last belt loop that he missed out on last year...disc sports. (I think that was is cool because it just says "ultimate" on the belt loop).

The food was good and on our last day, he got his wish to have giant cinnamon rolls...which we missed out on last year. They were huge and super sugary. He was also an adventurous eater over the three days. Overall, he did a great job and was very much one of the kids the younger Scouts looked up to during camp. This year, we stayed in the Train Station cabin. It even had a working model train set in one of the rooms.
