Tie Breaker



Today after much waiting, anticipation, and "discussion" among the siblings the tie has been broken, in July,the girls will out number the boys!!! Although Peach is very upset that we won't name his baby sister Theodore,the girls are very excited. After seeing his oldest daughter be baptized, we're not sure if daddy can handle letting four of his precious daughter belong to "some" boy one day, but I know he will. Walt is the best daddy in the universe, I've been told by each of his girls personally. Boys seem to grow up to be men, but our little girls are always our little girls......

Wolves and Bears at Fremont Indian State Park





Here is our Cub scout troop at Fremont Indian State Park. It is our wonderful museum in clear creek canyon about the fremont indians. They discovered a huge site of 106 structures when they were building the highway through there in 1983. They were able to preserve 10,000 bags of artifacts from the dig and most of them are on display at the museum. There is also one of the nicest displays of indian rock art on a short hike around the museum.

They have a replica of a pit house and a granery that they boys were able to climb down in and our guide brought out the atalatls and let the boys see what it was like to try and hunt for their food with such weapons. It was an awesome experiance for them.

Nathan's Arrow of Light



Nathan has being working very hard with his Webelos leader and he has earned his arrow of light!! He didn't think he should stop there, so he went on to earn all 20 of the Webelos activity badges. This was no small feat! We are very proud of him for his hard work in achieving his goal. He has set a new goal to earn all 120 merit badges as a boy scout. They say less than 2% of boy scouts achieve this goal.....GO NATHAN! We'll keep you all posted.
