Totin' chit

Another Boy Scout camping trip this weekend meant time for me to practice my pocketknife and saw skills. Just a few more lessons and I'll be able to build a log cabin from scratch. 
 

Stone Soup

Emma got to take part in her first school play this week, Stone Soup. And while she was excited to be part of the chorus, she made it clear she did not want to take center stage and have everyone looking just at her. 

That's why she stayed in the back, so she wouldn't stick out at all. 

Not sticking out at all. 

We'll try and work on her confidence and stage presence for next time. 

Trust fall

This may seem like a bad idea, but don't worry -- we worked out all the mistakes on the earlier attempts, and now we're sure nothing else can hurt us. 
 

Spider girl

I tried to get grandmom to climb to the top with me, but she said something about not having super powers and the age limit on the playground being 12. Her loss. 
 

Spooky season

Halloween isn't for another seven months ... what's the forboding fog doing here this morning? 
 

Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah

I may be getting taller, but this isn't getting any less fun. 

Tricks of the trade

I'm trying to teach one of the neighbors how to do trick shots like we see on Youtube, and the first step is being able to bounce a ball on your head. Next step: getting a multi-million dollar video contract.
