Scout Saturday



Last Saturday was FILLED with Scouting: GIRL AND BOY!

The Brownies voted at the beginning of the year that they wanted to AGAIN go horseback riding.

Sigh...

And though they sold a LOT of cookies, the troop couldn't quite pay for all the girls. So, we asked their parents to choose: sell more cookies, tell the girls they can't horseback ride, or pay for it themselves.


They chose the latter...



So off we went to Happy Trails. The girls had a blast, of course.

Here is a picture of Teresa goofing off; she looks like Papa riding his motorcycle! ;)




As soon as Teresa and I got home, it was off to bring Alan to the fire station. This was the last requirement for Alan to earn his Tiger badge!! Of course, all the boys L O V E D it!!

They were really good listeners. They wanted to see EVERY tool.

They even took turns going to the bathroom...it was on the tour...





The firemen did a good job of letting the boys learn about all the equipment. They even took them on a ride around the block, sirens BLARING and everything!!



But, the highlight of the trip was

GETTING TO PLAY WITH THE HOSE!!





Aloha!

Hey Becky,

In my next life, I want to come back as one of yours and Jim's children.

What a life!

Wow!! What a great day!
Sawyer said the kids' names and wanted to look at them on the computer. So, I opened up the pictures for him. He said "hat!" when he saw Teresa on the horse, and said "Hi!" when I enlarged the picture of Alan smiling in the group. I think Alan had the best Firestation tour ever!

Looks like a fun weekend. Did you go on the same horse ride as last year? Is Trigger still there? The girls want to say Hi to Alan and Teresa.

Aloha,

Tresa looks like a pro rider on her horse but playing with the fireman's water hose takes the prize. Scouting is great! Love Oma and Opa
