Finally Scout day

Everett has been counting down the days till the next scout event. We are not even officially enrolled. (Don't tell him, yet we own all that he needs). Everett has slowly entered this pack. Two weeks ago, we went to our first meeting as visitors and he was hooked. Today was a short hike with playground time to follow. Although this must have been the highlight about 2 minutes into the hike: a mouse ALIVE, in the old fish ladder. Oh how the boys got excited to see it while this momma and a few others curled our toes while cringing a good distance away. Everett came running for the camera. Eeew, even now!

In our pack, siblings are welcome to join. Bel walked most of hike and did a great job listening when it was time too. She seemed to have liked our day.

Like that was not enough to do plus the school work earlier in the morning, we had planned to collect some spider webs for our up coming unit study. Because it was so late in the day and it had been a little windy, most of the webs we found were less than perfect. But they were full of bugs and stuff that we might not find on a morning hunt. Cool all the same and we look forward to preserving more and comparing them.
