April 26, 2014 - This Saturday started at 8:00 a.m. at the little scouts' school to help prepare for the school carnival. After this mom scout spend over 4 hours separating and bagging carnival tickets in company of another scout mom with coffee and pleasant conversations, I headed home to get the kids ready for; of course, the school carnival. Once there, the kids had a blast, going from bounce house, to hamster ball, to games, to petting zoo, to hair painting (some of which may just have to grow out) ... a good time was had by all. Best part for me was bidding on this awesome basket with camping supplies (one of the many different themed baskets); worse part ... I was outbid. There is always next year!
Two and half hours later and a few dollars spent, I dropped off Kaylee at her friends house for a birthday party. Dylan was instructed to stay home with dad and get ready for yet another event. Shortly after I got home; which was no more than 20 minutes after I went to drop off Kaylee, we headed out to the Pack meeting. This was one amazing experience for both the scouts and the parents. We had the privilege to be part of an amazing presentation performed by some outstanding U.S. Navy Soldiers part of the USS Constitution. After a reenactment created by a sailor soldier (also an Eagle Scout) involving all scouts and parents, a group of Explosive Ordinance Disposal Navy Soldiers demonstrated the use of a robot and the equipment they use to perform their job safely. The scouts had the opportunity to control the robot and try on some of the equipment. An amazing experience for sure!After the Scout Pack Meeting, we picked up Kaylee and headed to eat something. This day ended with some very exhausted scouts.
