raingutter regatta

Payton had so much fun helping Tim working with his Dad to make his boat.  He was also happy that he did well at the event.  It's always fun to see how excited the kids (and Dad's) get at these events.  Payton really enjoys cub scouts, especially when they do activities like these!

I just got released from one of the funnest callings I've ever had.  If you would have told me 2 1/2 years ago that I would actually be sad to be released from this calling I would have double over laughing.  This calling scared me to death.  It's like getting called to a foreign country on your mission.  Okay it's probably nowhere near that, but it felt that way too me.  I was the *drum roll please*...Cub Scout Committee Chair.  Exactly.  Most of you probably have no idea what that calling even is.  I know I didn't.  I knew that somebody in our ward took care of cub scouts and they did a wonderful job, beyond that...not. a. clue!  Well, it's taken me a couple years to figure out what I was doing.  I finally figured it out.  I finally loved it.  I got released.  Isn't that how it always goes?  Luckily, I have a son in cub scouts {and two more on their way} so I'll still get to enjoy it for too many years to come!

Do you blame me?  How many of you get to do things like this in your church callings?

Happy Trails,

cub scout day camp

Payton got to attend Cub Scout camp for the first time this year and I got to attend one day with him!  That's just one of the perks to my awesome calling {Cub Scout Committee Chair}.  I'll have to get back to you on the other perks.  Anyway, he went to Jurassic Journey the first day and Super Hero Academy the second day.  Basically, it's every thing you would expect cub scout camp to be and more!  The kids loved it and the leaders endured it...mission accomplished!

Seriously though...I really do like my calling and love working with these boys and the AMAZING cub scout leaders that we have.  Camp was so much fun...and funny...really it was quite hilarious!
