I know it's been a while since I posted...it's been busy since school has started back. They are both doing good in their classes so far. Rachel has had the bigger adjustment but is handling it well overall.
Rachel started swimming (year-round) in mid-August, two nights a week... Then about 2-3 weeks in, she hurt her shoulder - we thought she had a pulled muscle... Nope - broke her arm (in the growth plate, up close to the shoulder)... So she's been out of swim and other activities for a while now. As of now, the bone has healed but we're still working on getting the shoulder ligaments back to normal. So that has been a process.
The other new thing with us is that Jackson joined Cub Scouts - he's officially a Bear right now. He's wanted to do it for the past year or two, and finally joined this year. He loves it so far. They even went camping a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Jackson had the best time!!
After setting up their tent.
Eating s'mores...his favorite.
Fixing sausage for breakfast.
Jackson showing some of the others how to set up the tent.
Fishing and baiting his own hook!
Getting his first badge (or whatever you call it!).
Fixing dinner for the group - he liked helping prepare it and said it was delicious. (Shrimp, potatoes and vegetables in foil packets, cooked in the fire.)
Flag retirement ceremony.
Still asleep the next morning when everyone else was up and moving.
And he's been selling popcorn to raise money for it. His pack offers Show-and-Sells where they can sign up for a slot or two at a store and stand out front and try to sell to customers. This was his first experience with it and he rocked it! Very persistent and polite.
