Bob Cat

Alden earned his Bobcat award last night at his Cub Scout Pack Meeting. This was his first award and he was so excited. He was a little confused at trying to pin my "mothers pin" on me having never done such a thing before. They had the boys who recieved their "bob"cat "bob" for apples. Not an easy task when you are toothless. Poor Alden also got stuck with the tallest bowl (he is by far the shortest by at least a head). He was a good sport about it though and with a little lift to reach the bowl finally got his apple. He has great friends in our ward and school that cheered him on the whole time (for me being an over protective mother it is nice that he is never teased about his size). They also had a watermelon eating contest. Alden was not happy that it had seeds in it. Who's ever heard of a watermelon with seeds anyway?? He has very particular parents that are always saying to not be messy and he wanted to know why everything has to be a contest to be the fastest and get messy. I thought that was pretty funny. Alden did have fun with the water balloon launcher though and even caught one. Good thing Scott takes better pictures than I do. Luckily we have a good group of scout leaders and they always bring extra of whatever they are doing/eating for the other kids, so Dallin and Brig had fun as well.
