Sickness!

We have had a sad week.  It started out fine with a trip to the book fair at Kiker.

 BUT, teacher work day wasn't so fun.

 Little did we know that would be the good day this week.  Starting Monday night JD was sick and just couldn't get over it.  He did finally recover on Friday!  Just in time for the weekend.

 Good thing too - because it was Grandpa's birthday and we needed to celebrate.  The boys got together at Uncle Tommy's ever expanding shop.

JD and George inspected all the banged up RVs that were in the shop.  They had a few dents but were still pretty fancy compared to our tent!

Cub Scout Camping

JD's cub scout pack spend the weekend at Enchanted Rock.

Opening ceremony is always a little sparse.

 But more and more scouts start rolling in to the park and by the evening festivities there is a great crowd. 

 JD and his classmates spent a good part of the weekend defending this log fort from aliens.

The rock itself is quite impressive.  We weren't ambitious enough to try to hike to the top.  The people doing that looked like SERIOUS hikers, not just kids with tennis shoes.

 One of the leaders helped the boys earn their astronomy belt loop. 

 At closing ceremonies our cub master recognized all the veterans.  He started the introductions when many in the crowd started asking "where's George?"  Just then - George comes out of the restroom for his 2 minutes of fame.

Football and Lunch

 I can't believe we are at the end of October already and JD and I haven't been to a football game yet.  For being in the middle of a drought we have had quite a few rainy Friday nights.  Here we are - enjoying the game and the nice cool, clear weather.

I had lunch with JD and then took him to the book fair.  JD always brings home his lunch box with all the food still in it.  When I bring chicken from Wendy's it gets gobbled up.
