Cub Scouts

Chris and I are the wolve den leaders in our local scout troop. Last night we had a pack meeting and gave away 47 awards. Our kids are doing great - and we finally figured out how to do this whole award thing!

At the end of the pack meeting, we had a raingutter regatta and raced vegetable boats. Chris and I both made a few boats in case the boys didn't make one or forgot or didn't know or whatever. Turns out it was a good idea. Chris's was a good idea anyway. One of mine was too wide, and the other sank! So here's Chris with his amazing cucumber boat. He was so proud! Then we were done and he tossed it in the trash. He's not the most sentimental person in the world.





Remember my Zucchini post? Well, I found another use for zucchini from the garden. Boats. Unfortunately, the zucchini I used from my garden became the boat that sank. They definitely taste better than they race.

Remember when I did the Cub Scout thing when Jesse and I first got married? I cheered the day I got released. I'll bet it's way better to get to do it with your husband, and I'll bet you guys are really good at it! Cute idea with the veggies, too!
