Here a Scout, There a Scout, Everywhere a Scout. . .

We had a major "scouts" day for our family yesterday. The afternoon began with Meg's Court of Awards. This is her first year participating in Girls Scouts and it has been super fun because her good friend Marissa Lowe is in her troop. Meg earned SIX badges. We then headed home for a quick dinner and on to Ben's second Pinewood Derby. His car was an "AAAWWWESOME" Louisville Cardinal car (Black with UofL decals). Rusty, who was in charge of the camera, (since I was the official record keeper) failed to take a picture of Ben and the car--we are going to wait until next week when he is in his uniform again and "pretend" it's the night of Pinewood. Although he did not place in the top three, he "moved up three places from last year" and tied for fourth. Fun was had by the entire family. As a leader, and after hearing stories from Round Table, I was impressed that only two dads had, shall we say, "concerns" with how the derby was run.

By the way, I don't know when our family became such UofL fans. . .but somehow, after going to one football game, watching some sporting events on t.v. and three UofL jerseys, two sweatshirts, and matching sweatpants later--we are now devotees.
