Cub Scout Camp

Austin and Taylor had the opportunity to go to cub scout camp this year. I was a little nervous sending my boys away all day every day for a week. Shooting BB guns, doing archery, swimming in a lake...to name a few. One of the leaders overheard a scout saying "this is awesome, my mom would never let me do this stuff!"
This great man is Leo, he is the director at the camp the boys went to. He totally catered to them. Calling them his "assistant camp directors" driving them (well Austin, but Taylor got to join) in a cart when the walk was just a little to far. The boys had a fantastic time. They were sad on Friday when they realised it was over and they weren't going back. Thank you so much to all the leaders that helped chaperone every day to make this all possible!

Taylor loading...I think.

Ready, Aim, FIRE!!!

Austin with his eye on the target. Speaking of target, I'm not sure how close they were to the targets, but the boys brought home their paper targets and they actually had holes in them! I was impressed.

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!

Well it's official. The boys are all done with yet another school year. It was a good year. Austin and Taylor made good progress and are still climbing up the charts towards the goal we would ultimately like them to be at. This is a good thing, I get nervous every time there is a meeting to talk about their progress. I dread the day when they start to plateau (maybe that day will never come though). This is Ms. McKulsky and Ms. Ferguson. Two of the best teachers in the whole world, I'm certain of that!

Caden is our smarty. He is completely ready for 1st grade! He had a super cute graduation ceremony but he wouldn't look at me. This is the only picture I got of him looking.

Caden and Mrs. Haskins. The best Kindergarten teacher around.

This is Haley. This is Haley's first time sitting on grass. Haley does not like grass.

After a towel placed under her she calmed down and enjoyed the dandelions.

That's it for now. It is going to be a busy month though. So I'm sure there will be a lot to report later!
