Men in Uniform

Collin Sports His Tiger Cub Scout Uniform
Evan's Homemade Robot Ensemble

Collin had his second Tiger Cub Scout pack meeting. This is held at his school and consists of all the cub scouts from his school. This was the first time Collin wore his uniform to the meeting. The pack meeting is not to be confused with the den meeting, which is comprised of a small group of boys. The den meeting usually meets in a private home. I was never in scouting growing up, so I'm learning about this as I go along. Collin and Craig also helped collect food for a scouting food drive. They drove the food to another location where it was sorted. All together, the pack collected 2,000 items, which were in turn donated to the Salvation Army food pantry.

On to other news. Evan has quite the active imagination. This probably comes from being a second child who has had to come up with ways to amuse himself since he has never had 100% of our undivided attention like his older brother at one time experienced. Lately, he's been fixated on robots. He asked us to create a robot costume for him. The above picture shows the results of our efforts. It's no masterpiece, but he was pleased with the results. He does his best to keep his costume out of reach of his younger sister when he's not wearing it.
