Day Camp

Day Camp 2012- I spent the day in Greeley with Everitt and his Cub Scout troop. This was his first day camp and he was so excited for the building projects. These boys got to be cowboys on the frontier. Some of their activities were making a shelter, fire pit, mini wagons for a relay race, doing some cooking, sewing and panning for gold! They also got to shoot BB Guns and archery. Two full days of fun!

Everitt found gold nuggets!

 Coltin is a Webelos scout and also attended a similar day camp. He had a great time. We just don't have any pictures.

Pinewood Derby Races 2012

Here we go again...
The races were so fun this year. Everitt made his first car and it actually looked like a race car. He named it Silver Stinger. This was Coltin's last year racing. He ended up going with a phone style car (blue and gold). Called the 'Phoner'. Both cars did real well. The races were so exciting, as each one of them crossed first in the first round. They got to race 6 rounds and placed based on accumulated time. So for the Wolf den, Everitt's Silver won first place. For the Webelos den Coltin's Phoner won 2nd place. As an overall pack (17 boys racing) Everitt was 2nd  and Coltin 4th. They made some good cars, of course dad helped and loved it. To bad he was out of town and missed the races. =(

Cub Scouts Blue and Gold Banquet

We had the scouts do a cake decorating contest. 
Election/America theme this year. Boys had a good time.

November- other happenings...

 Coltin had to make a 3-D map of the state of Colorado out of salt dough. He has been really enjoying learning about our state.

My almost 10 year old!! 

 Laura and kiddos came to visit and made me a cake for my birthday!

 I just love quite time and when the bigger kids read to the younger ones.

Nov. 26 -We took the kids to roping in Denver. 

Corbin was so excited it was his first time to compete. 

No prizes were won, maybe next time they will practice more! 

 Nov. 29 - Pack meeting. 

Everitt's den did a skit. 

Coltin was awarded his Bear Badge along with 1 gold arrow and 4 silver arrow points. 

We are so proud of him. 

Cub Scout Everitt

Tonight Everitt is officially a cub scout! Over the last few weeks he worked on earning his Bobcat Badge award. The tradition our pack has is to flip the scout over when this award is pinned on him. This way when he is right side up the badge is upside-down. He then has to do good deed to have it turned over the right way. We are looking forward to more scouting fun with Everitt.

Pinewood Derby Time

This year for the Pinewood Derby, Coltin decided to carve his car out in the shape of a bug. It came together really well, shiny gold paint and googly eyes. His first race went pretty good, taking 2nd place qualifying  to go on. Then he got beat out. But he won the "Best Vehicle Not a Car" Award.  It was a fun event.
