Caleb's Rain Gutter Reggata

Last week Caleb's Tiger Cub Den participated in our pack's Rain Gutter Regatta. While Caleb, "didn't want to waste his breath," by overexerting himself, his boat did get selected by the Cub master as the best design in the den.

Last Chance...

Thanks to all of you who have ordered popcorn from Caleb in the last month. If you still haven't ordered and want to, give us a call before the 31st.

Girls Road Trip...

This weekend Grace, Jamey and Jamey's friend Jen headed to Florida for a short get away. The trip started off rough when I dropped them off at the Gate 30 minutes before take-off. Due to our tardiness, they did not get their luggage until the day after they arrived in Ft. Myers. Needless to say, we miss them dearly and can't wait until they return on Wednesday night.

Caleb's First Campout

Lesson 1: Improvise

This past weekend Caleb, I and the rest of our tiger cub den headed to Camp Miakonda in Sylvainia for the district's annual family Fall camporee. The boys had a lot fun: B-B guns, bow and arrows, rack cars, rockets, etc... We took several tents to lend to some of the families who have never, or rarely camp. Most did not like the 39 degree weather we had Saturday night. Needless to say I did enjoy going back to Miakonda after 15+ years. The place has barely changed.

ReUseAShoe Recycling PSA

Hannah's gym class was assigned a project that required they educate their peers on the the "Keep Perrysburg Beautiful" campaign to promote Nike's "ReUseAShoe" recycling program. Hannah and I had a lot of fun putting this together, despite the late night... Not too shabby for a first attempt at "film-making"! She put a lot of time and hard work into this, hoping to educate and entertain at the same time. She could have just turned in a poster-board and short report; but, our little "over-achiever" wanted to put her creativity (and my technical skills - thanks) to the test! She had SO many ideas that I think, if she would have had more time, this little PSA might have ended up a 2 hr "feature film"! She actually produced 2 seperate films over the last week; but, her first one had "technical issues" (aka - Steve is much better with a camera than he is with a VIDEO camera :). She had fun involving the whole family in this, and even recruited some of the neighbor kids along the way! She's not holding out for an invitation to "The Sundance" just yet; she is, however, banking on an A from her gym teacher!
