Camping Weekend

This weekend I had to work though it didn't feel like work except that I wasn't at home. The district that I run had a Webelos Camporall, in laymens terms a campout and skills competition for 4th and 5th graders, it was a lot of fun. The chairmen in charge did a gret job. We had 166 people out there and the weather was beautiful. We did have a couple of challenges. First, we were at the reserve base and the guys who delivered our water buffalos ran over some sewage pipe so it smelled really bad. We tried to shovel sand on it to cover the smell and to soak up the water but it didn't work to well. We closed it off with Caution tape and worked with the smell. Second, the area was covered with gopher holes. They weren't in just one area but all over the place. I was being so carefull and the kids were running every where. I knew that if anyone was going to fall it was going to be me but I did good and to my knowledge no one got hurt. I would call this event 100% a success. For our next district event it is snow camping at the end of January. I can't wait...NOT.

The kids had games again this past week Trevor lost both football games actually I should say slatered. I feel bad for these guys our team has so many kids out because of injury there is nothing that we can do. Tatum cheer squad is amping up for a competion this upcoming Sunday at the Long Beach convention center and the team that she cheers for won again so they are in playoffs maybe going to the best game in pop warner football the "Orange Bowl". The girls are doing a really good job and I think that the players actually appreciate that they are there. Triston won his soccer game on Saturday 5-0 he got to play the whole second half which doen't happen very much anymore as is the subber for now. In his Baseball game he got to pitch the first two innings. He did ok the first inning but allowed 2 runs in the second he did much better. He didn't hit any good balls in the game but in practice he was bombing them to the outfield. I mean line drives. He hasn't practiced all year either so I told him not to be upset that once he gets a couple practices in him all the fundamentals will come back. His team went on to win 10-4. Don had a busy weekend with lots of parties for the stores and with me gone he did a lot of juggling. Trevor worked for him on Sunday and hosted a party and did a great job as Party Host and he got a $20 tip. I'm really proud of him he really know how do his job at the store and do it well. I know I complain a lot about his behavior but he is really a good kid that tries to be good. I love you Trevor.
This week is conference week for the twins and I have set a meeting with Trevor's teachers to see how he is doing so I will have many posts this week.
