CUB SCOUTS

This year little Ricky joined cub scouts. Big Ricky volunteered to be the assistant den leader. They have been in it since September and are loving it. The beginning is a little over whelming with being hit with a ton of meetings all at once. Especially for big Ricky because he is assistant den leader. Ricky is taking his role seriously and is learning all his pledges and can recite them with great confidence. He is very excited and proud to wear his uniform.
A few of the neat things they have done are: they built a sail boat and had to race it in water, by blowing it. Ricky's 1st try didn't go so well. Poor guy was so nervous and tried to go super fast. The second time he won. He calmed down and didn't blow as hard. A lot of the boats were falling and I must say there was a little cheating going on.
The boys just had their 1st cub scout camping trip in Conroe at Camp Strake. Saturday to Sunday. They had a blast! Food was provided and they ate quite well I must say. They did archery, built a rocket and shot BB guns. Now little Ricky really wants a BB gun. Dad promised him if he gets good grades he will get him one. Oh boy!! In November they go on a 2 day one. Little Ricky is already counting the days.
Hana and I had a little girl time. I took her out to dinner. She could pick anywhere she wanted to go ( as long as it was not fast food). She picked a chinese buffet. I tried so hard to talk her out of it, but no, and to top it off she only had 2 pieces of chicken, spring roll and a few bites of noodles, grrrr. After that I took her to Chuckee Cheese. She had a fun night. Than we got to snuggle in bed an watch her favorite show, Sponge Bob.
