Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
I woke up this morning at 4 am (after sleeping 13 hours straight!) to discover this on the kitchen table. It is John’s list for his Cub Scout Pack camp out. Andy must have had him make a list to make sure they remembered everything. Training that boy right…
It was a day of scouting – Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts. First, Laura’s troop had a canoeing lesson at Silver Meadows Campground.
Laura was really nervous at first, but her kayaking experience paid off. She did a great job as the “driver” and she and Jessie, her canoeing partner, did really well both times they were on the water. They even took a minute to wave to me…
Since Silver Meadows only has six canoes, the girls were broken into two groups. While on dry land, the girls got to learn how to tie different types of knots. This is Laura learning and practicing a square knot. It was a great morning and Laura is excited for the next canoeing lesson in April.
Next was the Cub Scout Camp Out at Arrow Rock State Historic Site. Andy and John packed up the camping gear and headed out in the morning while Laura and I were at canoeing. Both Laura and I were supposed to join them later, but I was not feeling well (darn fever!). So, I drove Laura out to the campground after canoeing and then headed home. I ended up sleeping the rest of the day while Andy, Laura, and John had a great time at the camp out!
They went on a hike, ate great food, sat around a campfire, and just spent time with the other Cub Scouts and their families. It was a great day of scouting all around!
Laura’s Girl Scout Troop attended an old-fashioned, Sock Hop tonight to celebrate the birth of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts. There were all kinds of games, crafts, and dancing. All the girls had a great time, but I swear that I have never seen so many poodle skirts all in one place…
The big spider has returned to the Kassel Household! Bring on Halloween!
I love this Autumn Blaze Maple Tree in our yard. It always looks so beautiful this time of year!
…You are killing me. The torque converter is going out. So, instead of celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary the way we normally do in Hermann, Missouri, with Greg and Beth Van Hove, we will be $1,800 lighter the first week of November. We will still go to Hermann, but it will be a very strict budget day. No coming home with lots of wine. Oh well. Sometimes, being an adult sucks.
