Food??

So, we are an adventurous family, right? Well...I can only TRY so much! I am forever amazed at the types of food available in the strangest places. I fully expect to be offered some very strange things in the Korean restaurants. I don't, on the other hand expect to get some kind of grilled squid at THE ZOO!! That is exactly what they are serving up to munch on while you stroll around and look at the animals. They put it right on a stick and the people go to town!! Not for me...no thank you!!

Logan is moving along in Scouts

Last night, Logan received his Tiger Cub Immediate Recognition Emblem!! This badge shows that he knows the Cub Scout motto, knows the Cub Scout sign and the Cub Scout salute! Now, he will add beads to show all that he is doing to become a better citizen and person!! He is so dang excited about scouts and we are really proud of how much effort and thought he puts into it.

Now, Lincoln and I go to all the meetings too. He is a pretty good boy while the scouts are having thier meeting. Last night though, he decided that he was a bit too tired to stand and listen anymore.

Ready for Winter

Every year Ed and Laureen outfit the kids in their winter gear!! Logan is always excited to try on his new stuff. He was at school when I got the package opened. I tried Lincoln's on him fully expecting a protest and a fit. Well, boy was I wrong. He smiled so big once I got his coat on and kept pointing at everything else and saying "ON!". I got all of the gear on and he just pranced around the house with a huge smile!! He then refused to take off the boots when it was time to go get Logan. So he rode in the stroller in his bright red boots in the 75 degree weather. He couldn't have been happier! It occurred to me after that this was his first experience with winter gear. In Alabama last year, it never got cold enough for the coat and boots.

Tiger Scouts

Logan is offically a Tiger Scout!! He had his first meeting this week and it was great! He was so excited. He told me the morning of the meeting that he had trouble falling asleep because he couldn't wait to have a Tiger Scout meeting!! Matt is the den leader, so the two of them will get to spend some special time together. It is so cute to see them all salute and say the oath.."Do Your Best". You can tell when he has the uniform on that he is so proud to be a Tiger Scout. Matt and I are hoping that he continues on to Boy Scouts. It is a great program and so good for the kids to learn to be a part of an important group.
