Final Week of Everything!

This past week was a whirl wind of activity, and a lot of fun to boot.

First on the agenda was the Year-End Cub Scouts banquet on Tuesday.  Lance received a medal for "Best Looks" with his Pinewood Derby Car and then was decorated with a new neckerchief for his promotion to "WeBeLoS".  He's growing up way too fast.

Jared also got a medal for his Pinewood Derby car but his was for Speed!  He is proud to now be a Wolf Cub.

Titus kept busy by running around the room at mach two. Amber fell asleep on the drive and woke up while I was in line for food. Chris and I decided to throw caution to the wind and were rewarded with some of the best tasting pulled pork BBQ sandwiches we have ever had. Our friend Shelly volunteered to carry her around during dinner and give us a chance to eat in relative peace, which was a nice treat.  Shelly's husband also took Lance and Jared home for us allowing them to stay and watch the end of year video. Thankfully, neither of us suffered any real ill effects from our food adventure.

Next on the schedule was a baseball game Wednesday night.  Fortunately/Unfortunately depending on your perspective, the game was rained out.  It turned into a silly game night. I bought "Where's the Water" for the iPads and we all sat on the couch playing together.  This is a great game of deductive reasoning and physics, similar to "Cut the Rope" and "Issac Newton Gravity".

Thursday, we hosted the Year-End Baseball Party for Lance's team, coached by Chris.  This was a huge success with all 15 players and their families attending the event.  

We had a potluck, medals for the kids, pictures for the parents, and gifts for the coaches.   The weather was perfect, allowing the kids to play outside on the playground. The rain kindly held off until we were home and unpacked.  Chris had such a great time coaching this spring and was blessed to have a great group of kids and parents.  In the fall its on to Minors! Oh boy!

Saturday was the final baseball game of the season.  The other team only had seven players, so Chris sent three of his players (including) Lance to the other team, which gave each team 10 players. It was a really fun game for everyone and a great way to end the season.

The week was finished off Saturday evening at a birthday party in which Chris, Lance, and Matthew played Laser Tag and all sorts of other games. The two of them were so exhausted on the drive home, Chris caught them nodding off.


Now its time to start a relaxing summer break of swim lessons, piano lessons, horse back riding lessons/camp and oh yes, can't forget the school work!  Hmmm.... doesn't sound like much of a break does it??? :-)
