Cuboree 2013

 All day Saturday, Jered and Max went to the 2013 Iowa Cuboree at Kent State Park. This is a super fun day for all the parents and boys and they do all sorts of out door events. They kicked it off with a flag cermony. This  year they had engineers with science gear in to demonstrate different light and sound experiments. They even had a "monkey bridge" that the boys got to try to cross.

Everyone got a chance to do out door sports too, like fishing and practice shooting b-b-guns. They also did a navigation course with maps and compasses. 

The build this year was bridges with tooth picks and gum drops. Max's bridge held 55 lbs! They ended the night with a bonfire and ceremony. The Boy Scouts get to camp over night at the park, but the Cub Scouts head home to their beds. 

Max's 3rd Grade School Photo

Max got his 3rd grade school photos back today. Much better than last years' photo! I'm still on the fence about if I like school photos. In some ways it's a tradition and there are those charts you can put each year in so you see how your children change and grow. But in other ways they don't really capture their personality like photos I take of them. Still this ones a keeper. Think some of these prints are going to the Grandparents.
