The last two months have been mostly Scouting initiated activities and preparation for the Destination Imagination.
Max' Den was asked to do the flag ceremony. Max got to hold the flag during the closing session.
We went on a sunset hike in one evening. It was super cold, especially when we were waiting for the sunset. But thinking back, it was such an awesome experience.
This year I got to go with Max on the Foodbank visit, where we help out by packaging the food.
After months of preparation, Max team, Red Bananas, went on the stage for the regional competition. They had a great time even though they came short for the state competition.
Renee's team, Crystal Cats, won the first prize! Their hours and hours of hard work really paid off on this one.
Max and his Den built a school bus during the Pack meeting and joined the race.
This is another cool Den Meeting, where the scouts learn about responsibilty and skill needed for using a knife. The meeting ended with them carving ship out of the soap.
With all the rains this year, we decided to go on a hike to visit waterfalls in a mountain nearby. We got to take a family photo, which does not happen often these days.
The hike is not that easy but both kids were good sports and enjoyed the view.
We enjoyed our first clamping at the West Safari. It was not that big but we had a good experience camping with style.
We got to sit on top of a moving jeep and hold ostrich egg for the first time.
The next day, we went to visit Point Reys. Renee took a picture at the same place many years ago.
Max and I got to check out a new trail opened us close by. Later the whole family visited it.
Max and I spent a night at the Monteray Bay Acquirium.
While Max and I were visiting the Acquirium, Renee went with mom for the DI state competition and got second place! We are all very excited that they get to go to the global competition.
This year, the Cub Scouts camping was early. Here is the picture of all the kids in our Den.
Kids are relaxing with a card game during the campout.
