9/28-9/29 - We had a few girl scout events. The girls came over to present their research for their bronze award, and we decided on which one we wanted to focus on.
Sunday most of the girls and few moms took a self defense class from a lady who is 8 time black belt. It was a good class. We learned a few thing how to handle if someone grabs you on the arm from the front and from behind
9/18-21 - Kasey and I went to Sky Ranch with the 5th grade class. We stayed in a big cabin with over 30 girls and 17 moms. We had 6 showers and 6 toilets. I convinced them we needed some extra space so they gave us access to another cabin which we used for several of us to shower at night. There was some drama the first night with girls not wanting to go to sleep and some of the adults getting up early woke most everyone.
We had lunch when we first got there then started class. The kids did a challenge/team building class, fishing class (which at the end they cut open a fish to show you different parts - Kasey did not want to watch, but she caught a fish that was released), they did a really fun american indian class where they got face paint, an indian name, got to taste buffalo jerky and learn from teachers dressed like indians. They also did another science class where they got to make and shoot rockets, race Mr Potato head, and learn about erosion. Great classes.
In the evenings they had some free time to go swimming and do a few other things. Kasey wanted to go swimming then to water slides the first day. The 2nd day she wanted to go to the store then to the big blob to bounce. Kasey and a few of the girls were there with a few of the boys. They had so much fun.
The food was ok. Kasey and I ate with Julie and Violet most of the time. We were pretty tired when we got back but we kept going. The night we got back we went to Oktoberfest in Addison.
The next day we day tripped College Station. Kasey and I both slept in the car a good bit and some at the game :)
9/14 - Greg and Landon went to train for Philmont while Kasey and I walked Patch. We all got showers and ready and Greg and I headed to College Station with Doug. We had lunch at Wings n More, then had some beer and football at Duddleys before heading to the game. Luckily A&M won the game. We left a little early and headed back since my parents were staying at the house with the kids.
9/10 - Landon had another football game in Wylie. He didn't play as much tonight but they won!
9/7 - Kasey a few other girls from the Girl Scout troop went to help at a recruiting event. We probably had 40 younger girls there. Our girls helped them do some activities while we talked to the parents and then they brought the girls back in and led them in some fun songs. It was really fun to start seeing them as the older girls and helping out leading.
9/4 - Tonight was Landon's first football game of 8th grade. It was also the first home game at the new stadium at our school. It was hot but fun. This year we have cheerleaders and several students show up to watch.
They boys lost, but Landon got 3 tackles as linebacker. He played both linebacker and right tackle and played quite a bit of the game.
9/2 - We really had a pretty lazy labor day weekend. The kids and I went to see Angry Birds 2, Greg went to see Auburn play football at Jerry World.
