cub o ree

 This morning E and I got up early, for a Saturday, and got ready for cub o ree.  I made Laura come with me.  Lucy got to go play with Mags, R went to work and Hannah stayed home with a list of chores, the TV and two dogs for company, plus the promise of a fancy Disney pedi for her efforts if she did well.

The cub o ree was really great.  They had it well organized and the boys had a great time, plus they got a lot of cub stuff done.  Bub's really been knocking it out of the park lately with his cub work.  He completed his weblo as well as a compass point, some belt loops and is working on his Arrow of Light.
 The day was perfect, we were in a lovely clearing surrounded by beautiful trees.  The boys worked on their communication badge, made pinch pots, did outside watercolor art, did a service project, made stuff out of wood, went on a hike, learned about poison plants, learned about the early Indians, made rope, worked on some award requirements, played lacrosse and archery, collected leaves, ate lunch, climbed trees, had a flag ceremony and otherwise had tons of cubby fun.
 After the cub o ree E got to go play at Eric's.  He's a lucky boy.
Meanwhile Lu enjoyed playing with Maggie except Maggie wanted to watch youtube videos and Lu did not so she was sad, and Hannah who was supposed to be working did not.  Judging from the trail of debris around she watched TV, ate, tried on outfits and talked on the phone.
