We spent the last few days jaunting from one activity to the next. First the Veteran's Day Parade with Cub Scouts. Kevin pulled Will and Ben in the wagon, Ethan walked with the pack and I ran along the path and cheered. "Wooo Wooo!!"
One night we ventured to a local church that was having a mini golf fundraiser. Homemade holes can be pretty fun even if they have a religious undertone. One hole had two different paths marked "God's Way" and "Your Way". If you hit your ball your way, it would always loop around and return the tee off point where you had to start again. Finally after a number of tries Ben exclaimed, "Oh I get it. You HAVE to go God's Way." Pretty tricky Church of the Nazarene. Below is a picture of me at the hole that is apparently about a story in the bible where Elisha meets a bear. I don't know this story, but it proved to be a memorable putt putt hole.
Saturday morning we donned our skates for a cub scout skating party. My memories of skating involve large combs in your back pocket with sayings like "Awesome" and "Cool" that the boys would pull out of your pocket and skate away with them. Good times I tell you. We took Will namely because we didn't have any one to watch him. I just figured I would play with him while everyone else skated. It turned out they had skates small enough to fit him and he was a skating fool! Here he is doing the limbo.
Today a friend texted that he was going to fly kites after school and asked us to join them. We replied "Awesome." It was so blustery that all six kids had kites in the air for the longest time. It was so much fun!
What's next? I am sure something exciting will come down the pike.
Look at that cutie on the rollerskates. Ask Will if he'll get good enough that he can go backwards and hold my hands while I go forwards. I always wanted a boy to do that with me.
