Bears! Oh My!

Evan and Sean crossed over to Bear Cub Scouts this weekend.  Our pack does a camp out for the cross over.  The boys raced boats in a "raingutter regata" and Sean did really well.  He was pretty pleased with himself though you could not tell it from the videos I took.  In addition the boat races, there was field games, tug of war, hiking and running around in the rain (it rains every year during this campout).  I took a lot of pictures and videos but here are my boys as BEARS! Go Bears!

Seanism

Last night on the way home from scouts we were listening to music. When we get home Evan jumps out of the car and runs into the house. Sean just sits in his seat thinking he said. I wait a few moments and start to get out of the car when he says, Mom I have a question. I say okay. He says "I can lick my lips but how do you swing your hips?"..... Sigh....

Cubs Game Freeze Out

We take on the Capitol for Spring Break... Is there gonna be roller coasters?

Steve and decided to pile in the car and drive to Washington DC for spring break. Once we told the kids, the boys wanted to know if we could go to Busch Gardens Williamsburg - we told them it was closed but secretly if the weather was good, we were going to surprise them with it!  It was quite the trip.  We drove to Pittsburgh and spent the night before rolling into our Nation's capitol.  We spent three action packed days in DC checking out the Air & Space Museum, the National Natural History Museum, the US Capitol where we met our congressman, the National Zoo and as many monuments as we could see.  Then we drove to Virginia and spent one very lovely weather day at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.  We spent our last day at Jamestown seeing both the historic site and the living museum where the kids could go back in time to that era. They we stopped on the way home for a visit with our friend who lives near Cincinnati (perfect resting spot before the last six hours home).  I think the boys liked Busch Gardens the best!

Pinewood Derby 2016

Evan got a trophy and Sean did not so there were tears... Luckily ice cream usually fixes that!

Meatatarian

Ah... #MeatlessMonday... when Sean saw that veggie stew was on his plate with his quesadilla tonight he exclaimed "Mom I'm a meatatarian not a vegetarian!".....  though he did eat a potato to make me happy
