The boys did such a great job tonight at the Stables.
We visited the Breezy Hill Stable. Wendy was great. She taught them a bit about grooming and gave them each a mini lesson in English style riding.
They looked great and all seemed excited to take a ride.

Great Job tonight guys!
Don’t forget to work on the Pledge in Sign Language. Let your Scout practice in front of a mirror, that helps.

Let me begin on a personal note.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Chris, Rob, Chris, and Chuck. You guys pitched in with Tyler, Ryan, and JC and were so nice about doing it. I couldn’t be more thankful for you.
Another Huge Thank you for coffee, breakfast, and Krispy Kreme. You suprised us in a huge way and I can not begin to express my gratitude.
Now, still personal, I had a blast with you all. We got to know each other a little more and we had a lot of laughs. I could have handpicked the group of parents we have, and had no where close to the dynamic group that we have managed to obtain.
I know that there is no way any other group had as much fun as we did. The funny part is that it had nothing to do with where we were. It was who we were with. So, I thank you for your friendship and the laughs we had this weekend.
The kids seemed to have a great time together as well. I hope they learned a thing or two but, mainly I hope they enjoyed their friends, family, and a new experience.
Ok, having said all of that. Here are a few of the pictures I took over the weekend. There are many more, I need to gather some from everyone and we will share those as well.
You are the BEST and you all have a special place in my heart forever. (Sorry, sappy moment.)
Enjoy the pics!

The boys had a great time with Dr. and Mrs. McConnel. They learned all about the different types of rocks, how they form, and were able to compare different types.
They painted rocks and were able to take rocks home from the meeting to add to their collections.
Dr. McConnell presented their Geology Belt Loops and Pins to them at the end of the evening.
Special Thanks to the Reichman’s for hosting the meeting and the McConnell’s for teaching us about Geology.
