Movin' on Up...

For the last 2 weeks Quinn has been counting the days until he moves from Tiger Cub to Wolf Cub in scouting. He has gone as far as asking if it was bath night because he "needs to look nice for his ceremony!". Today, he informed us that the squirrels are going crazy outside "because they know a wolf is here now".  The much anticipated ceremony arrived and to Quinn's delight, several family members were there to watch it unfold.
Instead of an orange kerchief, he now wears yellow. Instead of a tiger, he now wears a wolf insignia on his belt. These may sound like minor differences to you but to his 7 year old...it is so much more. He truly loves scouts and is so proud of his new rank. Way to go little wolf cub, we are proud of you too.

Dinos in the Garden

Today we took a little field trip with Grammy to a botanical garden that was featuring life sized replicas of many dinosaurs. This particular garden also has a butterfly habitat. Surprisingly, I think we all may have liked the "mariposas" the most but it was such a fun morning all the way around. Thanks to Grammy we have some great pics to share. I dropped and completely shattered our camera yesterday while getting pics of swim lessons and not only did my mom run to her house to save the day returning promptly with her camera, she spent the rest of the afternoon shopping for a new one for us. It was a precious gift and I get to share it with all of you.
