Exchange City was fabulous!

Exchange City was probably the single BEST field trip any of my children have ever attended in the combined 24 years of schooling they have received! The program began with a curriculum of 30 hours in school leading up to the field trip today. They will have 10 hours of follow up. The program today was fantastic in every detail! Each "shop" was well put together and the staff was extremely helpful in keeping the kids on schedule. I was a bit nervous about my group going into the event (and of course disappointed that I wasnt working in the same shop as my own daughter which was my real reason for volunteering) but they really did a great job and came together well! :) I hope this is a program that my boys will be able to attend in upcoming years!

Tonight we attended the last event for Dylan's Cub Scout troop before they go on to become Weblos! They earned their Whittling Chip Card! Yep, that right there is a picture of my boy using his Dad's knife to whittle the end of a stick for roasting hot dogs! I was a bit nervous but he did great! :)

We are gearing up for a super busy weekend... in addition to the planned events we have two BBQ invites so far! Maybe we should make it a goal to see how many we can hit in one weekend! LOL Anyone else having a BBQ we should stop in at?
