Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
John tried out for the Hickman High School freshman summer baseball team today. We told him this was about experiencing a real team tryout and we did not care if he made the team or not. We just wanted him to give it his all. When I picked him up, he said that he played well except for a couple of bad throws. We should find out the results some time next week.
Laura attended her first campout as a Scout at Camp Hohn. She got to do all sorts of new things like make a mold.
She got to fly a drone through an obstacle course, and she said it was surprisingly hard.
She helped to build new benches to be placed around Camp Hohn.
Laura really enjoyed the weekend despite the rainy weather. It was fun to listen to her talk about everything that she got to experience.
Andy and Laura stopped in Rocheport to watch a short concert by The Lacewings on the way to Camp Hohn for the weekend.
Andy and Laura are preparing and packing for Laura’s first campout as a Scout. They leave tomorrow for the Invention Jamboree at Camp Hohn.
It is the last Big Tree Cycling Green & Black social ride of the season.
After a rough, last year due to COVID and other things that caused a downward turn in the number of riders, the Green & Black has made a steady comeback all year. We had a great time after the ride enjoying pizza, beer, and conversation. I am hoping to join in the riding fun next year, assuming baseball is not constantly on the same night…
The butter dish has returned to the counter. The cats are really no longer here.
The Fall Court of Honor was this evening for our Scouts. It was Laura’s first and she earned her Firem’n Chit and her Totin’ Chip.
John earned service hours.
He also earned nine merit badges.
I think the highlight of the night was Troop 523 being recognized as Founders. It will be very fun to watch these young women trailblaze the path for many more to come.
Congratulations to both our Scouts! Your Dad and I are proud of you!
