You have never seen a child quite so excited to become a Cub Scout! He earned his Bobcat even before he turned 8, and while he is still working away at the requirements to earn his Wolf, he has already completed over two arrow points.
After a hot day at camp, BB#2 picked Sweet Tomatoes for his birthday dinner. It had nothing to do with the delicious salads and everything to do with the unlimited ice-cream you get at the end of the meal. Here's my evidence:
His ice-cream creation incorporated 8 mini-cones, one for each year of his life. BB#2 creating a beautiful symbol of his life? Not a chance. He was just trying to justify a ridiculous number of cones on his ice-cream.
We were even able to invite along his cousin (in town from Michigan) and Grandpa Green. Of course the Caboose wanted in on the ice-cream too!
*********************************************************We have all sorts of traditions around the 8th birthday. One tradition concerns the birthday party. When you are eight, you can pick an 'event' and bring a few friends along. BB#2 opted for a Rockies game. Not in the least bit surprising!
He invited four friends and his big brother.
While we managed to miss the only run of the game, the boys seemed to enjoy the night and all of the snacks.
Overheard at the game:*BB#2's friend: "You cut the cheese and I ate it!" (eewww!)
*Guy talking to his child who was asking for more treats:
Man: "What to you think Cracker Jack's are? A vegetable?"
Man: "Hey, has the broccoli man been by yet??? Broccoli Man!!!"
BB#1 "I don't think he'd have good business here."
*BB#2's other friend: "This is the best birthday party EVER!"
