Sunday Sewing

This isn't what I wanted to sew today. But I love my son....

Scout Uniform

....even when he tells me 2 days before he leaves for scout camp that he needs certain badges sewn onto his uniform.

....even when he tells me he doesn't have those specific badges, and I have an hour to run to the scout office before they close.

And because I'm a quilter, not a tailor, I have no idea how to do this. I will admit to watching a YouTube video for tips. I ended up using monofilament (clear) thread to sew it all on by machine.

He so owes me.

Cub Scout Hike

Today, the boys and I went on a small hike up Payson Canyon to a grotto. We had a great time. The hike was short and easy. The boys cooled off in the small waterfall.

S really wanted me to take pictures of him under the waterfall

 

It was a successful hike: no one lost, no one hurt, everyone was still smiling at the end. 

While the boys are were away, MK went to play with a friend.  

Scout Day Camp

Yesterday was Scout Day Camp for C and S' cub scout den. S isn't officially a scout yet, but boys who have a summer birthday are invited to come. And, I've been asked to help out the scout den again, this time as an assistant den leader. It was a very fun filled day at Camp Jeremiah Johnson. They boys made a craft, made air rockets they shot off with an air gun, did group/partner races, climbed a rock way, shot BB guns, and learned archery.

You can't see his face, but this is S. The first two shots he was thoroughly confused and frustrated with the whole thing. One of the camp counselors came to him and spent some one-on-one time with him showing him how to do it all. Then S shot off the third shot by himself and shot a bullseye. Every shot after that was pretty on target. Wow!

C on the rock wall. The object wasn't to just climb high but to go around the entire wall. C went around a few times.
