Cub Scout Space Derby

Nov. 12
Ethan started Cub Scouts this year and his first big event was the Space Derby.  He and Jared worked to make his space rocket- which was made from balsa wood that was propelled down a line with a wound up rubber band.  They loved working on it, and the event was super fun!  Ethan ended up 3rd in his den, which meant he got to move on to the pack finals (in which he did not place 😊).

It's intense watching those things fly :)

Pop and Grandma Terri came to watch.  And we had some yummy Krekel's afterwards!

Ethan's Cub Scout pack got to fly in an airplane when they visited the airport!  Then also got to go up into the air traffic control tower.  It was a really neat experience!

In front of the plane he took a ride in!

The whole 2nd grade class put together a Veteran's Day program open to the public.  The girls and I went to watch and it was so good!

The weather on my birthday was amazing!  We took advantage and went out to Rock Springs to hike around and we geocached (not sure if geocache is a verb??) for the first time!  It was so so fun!  The perfect way to spend my birthday :)!

Love this girl!  And she loves selfies!

Family birthday selfie on my birthday!  Love these 4 :)!

Some pictures from Rock Springs!  We found the pine tree forest and the kids loved exploring!

I downloaded a geocaching app and we decided to try it out.  Basically, you follow the directions and map to find a treasure of sorts.  Then you take out what you find and replace it with something for someone else to fine.  Ethan and Nora both chose a few small trinket type toys to put in the container. It was really fun, and I think we will do it again!

We had to go off the path!  Searching in all the trees.

They found it!  In a hole between the trees.
