4/24 - lifetime award banquet - as VP of membership I was there to help present lifetime awards to teachers and parents at our school. this was one of the first events that didn't have true social distancing even though we still had masks. That night we had a dinner out with friends. It was really nice to get together for the first time in a while.
4/17 - Camp James Ray - Landon's campout. He was part of the tug o war and go cart teams below.
We had a fantastic full day of scouting today. Scouts woke up early to start breakfast this morning to “be prepared” for a full day of fun. Our day started with our troop leading the flag opening ceremony and then quickly went into range activities for archery, shotgun, and rifles. Scouts enjoyed refining their range skills and improved their marksmanship.
Next up was a quick lunch to fuel up for our afternoon competitions. The tug-of-war was first the first camp-wide game and I am happy to report that Troop 1299 was victorious. It was a close match but our team pulled through at the end. We also had several scouts qualify for the gagaball finals. The competition was fierce in a winner take all final match. 1299 scouts tried their best but were not successful in being the last scout standing for gagaball.
The main and final event was the go-kart races. The troop kart looked amazing and was awarded top honors for best looking vehicle. After judging, the pit crews discussed strategy and got ready to race. I am extremely proud to report the troop was triumphant and was undefeated in a double elimination competition.
Scouts returned to camp to cook dinner and dessert after a long day of scouting. It was great to see so many delicious scout prepared meals. No patrol had any leftovers since all were hungry from the full day of fun and games. The evening closed with campfire and an OA call out ceremony. Congratulations to all scouts and scouters which were elected to this prestigious scouting organization.
Greg went to FC Dallas game with Doug so Kasey and I got Freebirds for dinner and chilled out at the house with Patch. Greg also won his second lottery at Bethany liquor store and got another Eagle Rare.
4/10 - We went to birthday dinner with Grammy and Gramps. Fun to get dressed up, have an awesome dinner, and we got a good picture of all of us afterwards. Kasey looks like she's taller than me, but she's not quite. Landon is also close to Greg's height but not quite.
4/5 - My birthday!! I went to work out, had to work, had lunch with my parents. They got me a baskin robins ice cream cake - yum. We all had activities that evening so Greg got us burgers from village burger bar and we got to have cake together after meetings and dance.
4/1-4/4 Broken Bow Easter weekend - We booked a cabin in Broken Bow. Greg, the kids and I and Doug went up for the weekend. We left after school on Thursday. We got into our cabin and headed to Greatful Head for some dinner but they were no longer sitting people. We ordered food to go, got a beer and sat out on the patio. We had good pizza dinner and some good wine.
Friday morning the boys went for a hike. Kasey and I made breakfast. Kasey tried out new double waffle maker, I made bacon and we both made eggs. That afternoon we rented a boat. It was a bit chilly. All of us did some tubing. Kasey sadly got pulled under and was the only one to go all the way in the water. It was fun. I have pictures of the kids in sweatshirts and covered in towels to stay warm. After the cool lake we got in the hot tub at the cabin.
That night we made dinner, and Kasey made me a birthday cake. Greg cooked steaks on the Grill, Doug made his famous gambas shrimp and we had salad. I also go Taylor small batch for my birthday. We enjoyed some wine and bourbon.
Saturday morning Greg and Landon went for a hike and Kasey and I cooked breakfast again. We decided to do a few things in town. We went to the putt putt place we've gone to before. In the afternoon Greg, Doug and I went to Hochatown distillery tour. They made Vodka and bourbon. Cool tour and we got to do a tasting at the end. After that we came back to get the kids and went to go cart place. Always fun and Kasey really wanted to go.
That night we had dinner reservations right by us. We got to sit out on big patio that had some live music.
Our cabin had an outdoor fire place, Patch loved being outside, and we got to see several deer go by near the cabin several times.
We had a great weekend and enjoyed the get away.
