Last couple of weeks

The last couple of weeks have been busy ones for us. On the weekend of August 1-3, Morgan and I attended Cub Scout Resident Camp at Camp Geiger outside of St. Joseph, Missouri. Boy, was it HOT!! The camp was for all Cub Scouts and had various stations and activities for the boys to participate in. There was an obstacle course, slingshots, trivia, a giant waterslide, craft activities, tomahawk throwing, BB gun shooting, archery, swimming, and games. We both had a blast, though the accommodations were a little bit more primitive than I am used to.....I am not a camper! However, we both made it through!

While we were at Resident Camp, Maggie and Marshall got to spend the weekend with Granny swimming at Uncle Cory and Aunt Andi's pool and playing with their cousins, Aubrey and Allison. They, too, had a good time. Greg, bless his heart, was at home working on our back deck!! We now have a back deck and a front deck! Our house actually looks almost complete from the outside! I will try to post pictures later!

The week after camp, Greg and I played in our softball team's end of season tournament. We actually won our first game!! However, the win just kept us in the tournament an extra night as we lost the next game and were out of it then! Oh well, we have had a fun time playing ball this summer!!

Marshall's birthday was on August 5 and we had a joint swim party for him and his friend Brian (August 6 birthday) and Uncle Cory and Aunt Andi's pool. We all had a good time hanging out by the pool and swimming!

On August 8-10, Greg and Morgan attended Webelos Weekend (cub scouts) at Camp Geiger. Greg got much better weather than I did. He actually had to wear a sweatshirt to bed one night!! Again, there were lots of activities for the boys to work on. This time, he was working on earning some of his Cub Scout patches.

While they were gone, Marshall, Maggie, and I went to Gallatin to play in another softball tournament. Again, we lost 2 and won 1, but we had a great time. This weekend our school's new parent teacher organization is hosting a softball tournament and we are playing in it!

School starts in less than a week and the kids are excited. We went school shopping the other day and got all of the necessities. The back packs are packed and ready to go! We have a back to school dinner on Monday night and we will take them then!

Well...I had hoped to post pictures with this post, but I am on a dial up connection and it would take forever! Maybe next time!!
