Besides the typical snow trip, we also had events showing signs of growing up.
Max joined the Destination Imagination (DI) event too! I am only able to help out as an assistant but we got cool T-shirts!
Renee went to a week-long outdoor education camp. While I was just glad to have her on her own for a period of time, the school ran out of volunteers. So I tagged along. We were supposed to supervise other kids but I got to see her every day.
After a long long time, Max finally was qualified for the belt test. He passed and reached brown belt.
Max got more interested in the annual Pinewood Derby race at the Cub Scouts. He picked a really fancy design. We worked on and off with borrowed tools.
In the end, his car won the second prize out of th 17 cars in his rank.
This year we rented out a house right next to the Heavenly ski resort, with view to the lake and the resort.
Renee and her two girlfriends went on the slope everywhere.
Our group took rests whenever we felt tired.
I took Max and his cousin to the Exploratorium on one of the weekend.
We went out for a quick hike and enjoyed the great view in our area.
Max finally got his award from the popcorn sales!
We also went to the San Francisco zoo during a weekend. The kids turned out to be free for that day.
Max finished his class in performance and did a show. We are still encouragingi him to do more in public speaking, something he can use some help. Interesting enough, Max is actually pretty social. He can get along with any kids and play.
Our Cub Scouts Den went to visit the policy as part of the adventure.
