I'm Becoming a Cub Scout

Yesterday I went to Spencer's Eagle Scout ceremony.  He was becoming an Eagle Scout which is a very hard task.  I'm thinking about joining the Webelos.  I might become an Eagle Scout one day!  When I join I'm going to have to do some catching up.  Everyone is going to have a bunch of stuff on their uniforms while mine is blank.  I'm excited to join the Cub Scouts.

(Note from Dad: The rocket pictures and activity were done after the blog was written. This was from a Cub Scout Advancement and Recruitment Ceremony that we learned about while we were at Spencer's Eagle Scout Award ceremony.)

The Oregon Trail

This week in school I went on the "Oregon Trail".  It wasn't really the Oregon Trail.  It was just Settles Bridge Park.  Part of the 4th grade went.  Our class was divided into families.  We made wagons with covers on them.  We untwisted clothes hangers, bent them, and then duck taped them to the wagons.  After that we put a bed sheet over them to make a cover.  I got a full workout on the trail.  I hauled the wagon the whole time.  It was tiring.  We got down to the river, ate lunch, and headed back up the trail.

What did you do that was fun this week?
