Time Travel

A few weeks ago was Cub Scout Day Camp.

This is me and my Bear Den

Logan all on his own thought of decorating his walking stick with a flag.  It was dang cute, he drew it by himself. He is so creative.

With 2 boys, and Bruce and I both as scout leaders, scouts seems to take up a lot of time. But I ♥ scouts, so thats okay. :)

I volunteered last month to make a TIME MACHINE for our Blue & Gold Banquet. I thought it would be a fun family project... and it was. We did it out front (okay, mostly Ashlin & CariAnn did it... thank you!!)... twas a beautiful day... and all kinds of people stopped by to chat while we did.

This started off as a brown refrigerator box.

They painted all 4 sides of it. Ashlin is so creative.

She called it her Dr. Seuss Time Machine.

 

And look who came through the time machine to visit the boys at the BLUE & GOLD banquet... Baden Powell (founder of scouts).

Oh yes, I also painted the sign and brought the balloons. :)

PS- I had volunteered the month before the banquet to make the time machine, thinking it would be a fun family activity. But then 3 days before the banquet we still had done nothing. I started to stress a little. I told Ashlin friday night, "Guess what you are doing tomorrow?? Making a time machine." (hoping she would want to, because all of a sudden it sounded like a lot of work for me to do.) And she immediately responded, "I know, I have already done little drawings of how we can paint it!" I love her and her sweet friend CariAnn who came right on over to help. It was such a fun day. We stayed out front as a family for hours, the kids helping at first, then playing around, and 

multiple neighbors stopped by to visit.
