Friday Night Lights

We finally got to see the whole marching band show!

The show is fantastic and just a lot of fun!

To cap off the night, Hickman Football won their third game in a row. They have now won more games in this season than they did the entire time Laura was in high school. Go Hickman!

Solar Panels

The Kassel Castle is nearly done with all the upgrades. First, the new HVAC system was installed. Then, the new roof was completed. Now, all that remains is putting the solar panels back on the roof. We hope to have those back on the roof by next week. I am anxious to be done!

Court of Honor

Troop 706 had their Fall Court of Honor this evening. John helped present the flags.

Our Scout earned service beads this evening. John is currently finishing requirements for Life Scout, so he should have this for the next Court of Honor. Congratulations to all the Scouts on their achievements this evening!

Family Weekend

We traveled to Cape Girardeau this weekend for Family Weekend at SEMO. Despite the on and off rain, we had a great time! It was the first time that we have seen Laura march with the SEMO Marching Band. Unfortunately, because of the rain, the woodwind sections did not have their instruments, but it was still fun to watch them. The brass sections put out some serious sound. I cannot wait to hear the whole band next weekend!

We really enjoyed the whole experience of the football game. It was a great atmosphere, and we got to watch SEMO win!

After the game, we picked up Laura and took her out to dinner at one of the local Italian places. We had tasty food and enjoyed some time with our girl.

Unfortunately, the night ended too quickly, but it was such a great day! Family Weekend #1 is officially in the books.
