Going Through Life One Post at a Time
And, we have arrived. The first of the Senior year activities was today with drape and cap and gown pictures. The drape picture will be used for the yearbook.
The cap and gown pictures are just for us.
Laura took some really great pictures, and I will order the digital versions of three of them.
The only problem is that I am so not ready for this. I cannot believe that we are here already. Another chapter in her life begins.
We went to Busch Stadium tonight to join the Scout troops for Scout Night at the Ballpark.
The kids were able to walk the track before the game.
The Cardinals lost to the Giants, which is great because we are Cubs fans anyway, but it was a very fun night at the ballpark!
The kids were able to participate in the Flag Day ceremony at the Elks Lodge today. This is another great opportunity provided by scouting.
Laura helped build benches for another Scout’s Eagle project today. I love that this kid loves to do service projects.
Laura is volunteering at Cub Scout Day Camp for the next two days helping Scouts build Newton cars. By the end of Friday, she will have another 18 service hours!
Laura got to have a unique experience today that also counted as service hours for Scouts. She was a live victim in a disaster scenario for EMS Education, which is one of the offices in my building at work. They train emergency medical technicians, and the disaster scenario is part of the final exam for students.
In the scenario, Laura was an intern at an animal laboratory that had an explosion. She said it was definitely a unique experience that turned out to be really interesting and fun. She told the coordinator that she would definitely participate again.
