More August Fun

Downtown Chairs

 So many things happened this month that I needed another post just to get them in (and I still don't have Duncan's 11 month photos in here yet).  That first picture is Jack, downtown, in a strange sort of spinning chair on the 16th St. Mall. It looked like fun but kind of freaked me out because it always seemed like he was about to topple out of it. The photo is from Logan's birthday, but the birthday boy got his own post!

Serious Spencer

 Spencer has such an easygoing sense of humor, and a quick smile. At the same time he can be the most serious of the boys! We also find it hilarious when he answers us "uh huh". I'm not sure what makes it so funny. Maybe we are all just exhauseted!

After Logan's birthday (well, actually for part of it) he wanted to go to Walsenburg to Papa and Nonie's house so we did. We got to visit with Aunt Nettie, Uncle Marty, and Brytyn. It was really fun. I didn't take too many photos, but I did snag a cute shot of Duncan standing up on one of the chairs.

What a Smirk

 The beginning of the school year means that Cub Scouts starts up in full force. Exciting news is that this year there is a program for  Kindergarten, so Logan gets to be part of the same Pack as his big brother.  Here we are at the first Pack meeting waiting for the doors of the school to be unlocked. They were so excited! Hawk Quest was there, but I haven't gotten a copy of the photo yet of the three of us with a bald eagle. I have to track down the guy who took the photo (my camera was, of course, acting up). They had a great time.

Lions and Wolves, oh my!

 August is the time for the annual Pack Family Camp-out. Jack, Logan and I went to Chatfield to camp with the rest of the Pack. There was a great picnic and the boys played and played with all the other scouts. It's nice seeing them make friends so easily with other nice boys of all ages.

Jack was in charge of setting up the beds

Having a snack under the shade of a pine tree

 We tried to stay overnight, but unfortunately Jack got a migraine and I decided to pack up quickly (with a headlamp, in the dark) at 11 pm to get them home (10 minutes away). But they enjoyed the camp fire and the skits and songs. Next time maybe we will be able to stay all night. The rest of the family was already home with fevers that night so it was just as well. No one did much of anything the next day!

I have a feeling more action may happen this month, but for sure stay tuned for September and someone's first birthday party!

Until next time...
