Yes, I’m still behind and I’m going to pack in as much as I can here and try to finally get caught up. I do have to admit this is a better position to be in than having nothing to post.
First off you may remember a few weeks ago August got first place within his den for the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. Here he is about to head out to the District Championships.
He got last place in every heat, but part of that was the way the weights were placed on the bottom of the car and the track is different with a raised runner in the middle rather than the side rails our pack uses. Still he had fun.
Towards the end of May and the beginning of June I was able to accompany kids on field trips. Usually I don’t get to go because they aren’t something I can take Xavier on or the timing doesn’t work out with his preschool pickup. Fortunately with Laura home and able to take care of Xavier that freed me up to go on some field trips. The first one was Déla’s class going to the zoo.

Another trip was taking August’s grade to the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma. Wow. What a museum. Definitely want to return there with more time.

I feel sort of bad because each of these event could, and perhaps should have been their own post, but they are sort of reduced to footnotes and belated picture postings. I still have more to post but can’t get everything into one post.
