I took about 500 pictures at camp last week, so I can weed through them and hopefully find good shots of all 12 kids in the den. I'll send some on to the other parents, and then I would like to make a memory book for our Pack. I'm still thinking about how I want to do that.

Silly Quiz on Facebook

Just for fun, I took this silly quiz on Facebook, "What does your true best friend's name start with." The first question was about favorite colors, and I picked the answer "rainbow." Anyway, after answering the questions it came back and told me that my true best friend's name starts with a "K". Hmmmm….first name or middle name? Kalani Rainbow, or Melissa Kaye, or both!!!! Anyway, silly but cute.

I am surviving day camp. Thank you for all your help this week, Mom. I'll try to post pics this weekend.

Goodnight!

Blue Jackets Game

Travis and Tyler are on opposite sides of the dancing pictures.

Singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"

It looks like everybody had a good time.
Tommy slept through most of it.
The Blue Jackets won!

Tyler wasn't with us because he had spent the night with friends and gone to the movies that morning.

This was a fun day. I miss you guys! Didn't feel like we spent enough time together, but it never does, does it?

Goings on lately: Tyler's new bike was stolen Sunday morning. Tyler was crushed. Scott & Amanda said he can have Josh's old bike, which makes it a little better but doesn't do much about the person who thinks stealing a bike from a little kid is a cool thing to do.

We went to the drive-in Sunday evening. I posted on Facebook that we were going and ended up with 2 other families I know there. That was a lot of fun: 3 families with 3 boys each, all around the same ages. We were there early enough to let all the kids run around and play Frisbee and wear themselves out before the movies started. Another mom (we didn't know her) and her 12-year old son parked near us, and joined us for awhile. Jeff stayed home and watched a movie with Scott; I took Amanda with me and the boys. She had never been to a drive-in before.

This week….I am getting ready for this week. Tonight is a mandatory den guides meeting for Webelos Day Camp. As I am a den guide all 4 days, I need to be there. Simultaneously, the Boy Scout troop is having a family picnic at a different location. Okay. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday Tyler and I will be at camp from about 8 a.m. until about 4 p.m. Friday camp runs from 1:30 p.m. to about 7:30 p.m. I think my mom plans on watching the kids until I home. Right, Mom?

On Tuesday and Thursday the boys still have swimming. On Wednesday Travis has youth group. On Tuesday we are going to the Blue Jackets game also, for a friend's birthday, right after swimming. Does anybody see me being exhausted by the end of the week?

Okay, I think I'm going to go bake an apple crisp for Travis to take to the family picnic. Have a good week everybody!

Water Fun

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then these say a lot. Maureen, the kids had a blast playing at your house today. Kim, it was nice meeting you again. Rainbow, please don't kill me. That was a yummy salad, I want the recipe.

We went to the boys swimming lessons when we left this crazy fun. Travis freaked me out by showing me his newest skill….front flips off the diving board. Yikes!
