Cub Scouts

My oldest joined Cub Scouts a few months ago.
It is something he shares with his Dad.
They go every Monday evening.
My husband was a Cub Scout when he was younger.
So, this time is special for the two of them.
Last Monday,
my oldest received his first badge-
The Bob Cat.

His Daddy got to pin it on him
and paint his face.

I am told the Bob Cat badge is placed
upside down til
he does a good deed.

My husband and my oldest are truly enjoying
Cub Scouts.

Sharing

My husband snapped these two pictures
of our oldest a couple weeks ago.

I love the greens and how the light and shade mix.
Of course, I love the subject of the photo
the most of all.
Many blessings.

Twins

A picture I wanted to share.
Many blessings.

Field Trip Friday- Poppell's Farm

This past Friday, we went with our home school group
to a local farm.

See mommy, pigs.

Watching the water games.

Big brother giving a hand.

Playing in water....too fun.

Pumpkin patch.

Corn maze. The corn was not that high,
but the kids enjoyed it.

All in all a great day.
Many blessings.

Field Trip

Last Wednesday after Co-op, we visited the Sea Turtle Center.

Amazing place.
This fella was found floating.
Floating is not a good thing.

You are able to read about each turtle-
why they are there
treatment plan
progress

Turtles of all sizes

These little ones actually were eggs
recovered from their mothers.
The mothers were fatally injured
by cars.

Newest arrival.

You are able to watch while they treat the turtles.

Truly amazing.
They released a sea turtle Saturday.
What a blessing.

First Bike Ride

He is up for the first time.
Unsure.

Confidence soars.

First wreck.

Battle wounds.

Field Trip Friday- Fort King George

My husband once again found another treasure
here on the coast- Fort King George.
It is just a little Fort that the British built
to , how can I say this nicely,
be a thorn in the side of both Spain and France.

At the Welcome center, each of the boys were
given wooden muskets to carry around
while touring.
He just won them over!
Off they went down the path.

Passing by Indian ruins along the way.

Hurry! We have a fort to protect!

The main block house.

Always on the alert.

A British soldier, telling stories about the fort.

Firing a musket.

Oh yes, there were cannons and the boys saw
them all.

A mortar cannon.

One of the lookout towers.

Yet another cannon. Smiles.

Time to check the perimeter.

Muskets at the ready.

The twins did everything their big brother did.

What a wonderful day the boys had with Daddy.

Nature Studies

I cannot tell you in words how much
we are enjoying
The Burgess Seashore Book.

The stories really come alive for us.

We imagine being Danny the field mouse,
discovering new things everyday.

Can't you just see the little crab?
This book is just delightful.
