...for
absolute craziness!! I've never seen so many scouts in one place!!
I'm talking about the local Scout Fair that we attended as a family this passed Saturday. We had a HUGE storm that dumped LOTS of rain on us that was actually a mixed blessing. Our Saturday was jam packed with stuff--so much that there was no way we'd be able to participate in it all. But, the rains canceled just about everything we had planned--except for the scout fair.
This was our first year to attend. I'm still not sure how it all works but from what I saw it looked like various packs/troops/districts set up their own individual "booth". So there was everything from rocket launching to "The River of Death" to rope-making...Can't even begin to name them all. We were there for over four hours and we didn't get to it all. But, here are some highlights:
Tennis ball launching
Volcano making (for those of you who know Aidan, this was right up his alley)
Preparing for balloon races...which didn't go too well for them :-}
"Riding the Rapids" (two other scouts would bounce on either end of the kayak to simulate rapids). Here is a fine example of "hunkering down."
Casting...Aidan got lucky while Hunter never could get that ONE fish he was eyeing.
Robyn did amazingly well the whole time. I don't think she fussed or cried once. With all the action going on around her there was plenty to keep her distracted.
There was so much more but I would never try to post it all here. Until next year...
We're very blessed and thankful to have her as a part of our earthly family. 
This week I have put my worldly stresses on the "top shelf" as I've spent my days hangin' out on the floor with her. And I find that that's all I want to do...
One particular song has become my anchor this week as well. I have to say that it is by far my favorite arrangement of I Am A Child of God by InsideOut
