Torture at Day Camp

A local high school sicene teacher was running the Scientist station and she did a fabulous job. Here the boys tried out a bed of nails (they really were nails) to explain how pressure changes based on the size of the area where the pressure is applied. They were a little hesitant . . . Parker was on and off the board so quick I could not get a photo!!!

Summoning Redbeard's Ghost

Parker had an awesome experience earning his Scientist pin. Here he is learning about how the air changes when it goes from cold to warm. Redbeard's Ghost (which is trapped in the bottle) is attempting to grab the quarter on the top of the bottle. It was great fun!!!

Pirates, ahoy!!!

Parker and Brigham had a blast at Cub Scout Day Camp--Adventures Aboard the Black Otter (Pirate Theme). They made boats and raced them in a raingutter regatta, made treasure chests, tied knots like a pirate aboard a ship, learned what to do if a man went overboard, hiked on a treasure hunt, played pirate games. We had fun at the week-long camp. And even slightly enjoyed the overnight campout, even though everyone in the camp who snored put their tent by ours!!!

Here we go. . .

Okay, I have finally stepped into the Blogging arena. This is a completely new experience for me, so please be patient.

This blog has been created so that you can catch a glimpse at our fast-paced, exciting, wonderful life. I am terrible at communicating with people one-on-one (I may not even keep up with this as much as I would like), so this is a good option for our family.

We love our family and friends and want to share what is happening in our lives with you. Here you will see those small successes that usually go unnoticed and are not worthy of an email to be broadcast to the world, but are special to us.

Join us on our journey into cyberspace, but watch out for the speed bumps and black holes (times when I forget to blog for several weeks).
