At the beginning of the month, we rented a houseboat with a few other families and spent three nights, two full days at Lake Shasta. It was quite a trip!
We stopped at a carven by the lake. It was really pretty inside. It was cold too!
The night before, we parked our boat down there at the bay. I remember we looked up and saw this building, and wonder who in the world would live there!
We tied a rubber boat at the back of our houseboat, and let the kids get in and have some fun ride.
Max learned how to rowboat during our
Canada trip and practiced during one of the Cub Scouts Den meetings. This time, he was able to jump in and enjoy himself.
As the school year starts, we signed up for our annual Popcorn fundraising again! This time, Max is one of the big brothers in the crowd, with a new uniform and all.
We also went with other Webelos scouts in the pack to the Council Webeloree weekend, a full Saturday packed with tons of fun.
Max has started learning Saxophone.
Renee is helping me build a flag stand structure for the Cub Scouts.
Max has started at a new school this year. This is his best buddy in the old school. They still see each other during all the Pack and Den events.20" ents.
Max visited Oakland Museum with his Den in Cub Scouts.
On the same day, we turned around and caught the belt test in Max' kungfu class. Max passed the belt test and earned his red-and-black belt.
This is Shifu Li, who has been great for teaching kungfu for both Max and me.
Max barely made it through his Starwars song during the recital. He was happy though.
Renee did pretty well with her piece. I was impressed myself. She played Sweet Bye and Bye. 
We did the traditional visit to the pumpkin patch. This time we gave Renee and Max each $10 to buy anything they wanted. Max got a kettle corn and shared with the family.
