Maddy goes camping

Maddy (and mommy) recently went camping with the Daisies (junior girl scouts).  We went on a nature walk, did arts and crafts,and even slept in bunk beds in rustic tents.  The best part: s'mores and songs around the campfire at night.

Fun with scouts

David's scout troop recently took a tour of the Harvard Observatory and saw both the original telescope (built in 1847!) and the new one (and got to see some stars in the new one).

Drawing of the old telescope (was hard to get a good picture)


The telescope still works, but is rarely used due to it's age

The kids got to sit in chairs on the observatory platform

Cub Scout Pinewood Derby

David started cub scouts (wolf scout) last fall. This is his first time in the finals!
(unfortunately he didn't win, but it was still exciting to compete against 15 scouts from local troops).

Waiting at the finish line (far right in the tan shirt, which is the new cub scout uniform color)

Badge for participating in the finals



Finals with the troop

Looks good enough to eat...

Kids love making their own pizzas with daddy.  Guess who made which one:
