Better Late than Never!

I lost the cord to my camera and was not able to download

these picture to the computer until now.

These are from Summer Camp this past July.

There was a devastating fire

on the mountain about 8 years ago.

The fire came close to destroying the entire camp.

My father has been a Scout leader for me

and each one of my brothers.

He has never missed a chance to be with his Scouting sons.

He is a true Scouter at heart and I take after him.

Notice the snake in the counselor's hand. I was very uncomfortable.

This was one of my favorite areas.

As of now I have 62 Merit Badges and

just recently had my Eagle project approved.

I am well on my way to being an EAGLE SCOUT!

The Great Lanyard Maker

This is my latest past-time. I have never met my grandfather before, (he died before I was born) but among his belongings that we were just recently able to go through my dad found several spools of lacing. I learned how to make lanyards at Scout Camp last year and so my Dad gave the lacing to me. Here are just a few of many that I have had fun making.

This is my MASTERPIECE.

We also found a book with lacing designs and so I am going to try them all.

Happy Birthday Padme!

Padme turned 1 on December 18th and we celebrated

her special day with a few gifts.

She loves her new squeaky soccer ball.

But most of all she loves her new bone.

Look at the size of it.

It is a real cows leg dipped in slop.

She is still enjoying it today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PADME!
