    Den Meeting {Science Belt Loop}

    November 18, 2011 - By 

    Our den meeting tonight was really awesome. Just another reason we are so lucky to live in a college town. You really don’t realize all the resources that are available until you actually do live in a college town. One of our boy’s Dad, Dr. L, is a professor in Microbiology. We got to go to the building where he works. The first thing the boys did was put a glow in the dark powder on their hands. First, the boys got to see their hands glow. Then, they went to wash their hands to see how clean they really…

    30 days of Thankfulness – Day 9

    November 9, 2011 - By 

    Today I’m thankful for the great Scouting program that we have here in Auburn. I’m very proud to say that my hubby, Rob is a huge reason that the pack that Alex is in is the biggest pack in Auburn and the best! 🙂 I’m thankful we have the opportunity to be able to fundraise to help, not only our fees for the year, but also the pack and the council. Drew uses his money for his fees to pay for all the camping trips through out the year. Many people when it comes time to narrowing down what activities…

    Den Meeting {For the Birds}

    October 18, 2011 - By 

    Today we worked on Wolf Elective #13. We first went out and looked for birds. We were able to find a few birds. The boys had a hard time being quiet, which scared away the majority of the birds. After that we went inside and made the good ole standby activity; peanut butter pinecone bird feeders. Bonus: eating the peanut butter!

    This afternoon was busy. First we started off at Plainsman Park for the 1st baseball game of the season. I just had my point & shoot, so I didn’t get any great pics of the game.

    Next Weekend

    April 15, 2006 - By 

    Did I tell you what we’re doing next weekend? No? Didn’t think so! Well, my family and I are going camping. Camping, yes, I’m going camping! For those of you who know me well know that I’m a city girl. I don’t mind the outdoors, but I’m not one who enjoys mosquitoes, chiggers, getting dirty & sweaty, and “roughing it”! Sleeping in a tent? Haven’t done that since I was probably 2 when my parents took me camping (unless I’m just dreaming that up)! Today we set up everything to make sure we had everything we need, like tents, sleeping…
