So, my son who will graduate in the class of 2017, is officially a 5th grader (actually, it's not official until tomorrow, which is the last day of school).
And what's with the cheesy school pictures anyway? I've really grown to not like these things because my dear, dear child cannot pose a picture to save his life. Note the kindergarten next to the 4th grade. I think I'll save this for graduation day, that and his future wife. I can't think of a better way to torture the poor child.
I much prefer the more mature looking picture below. I'd much rather have no smile than the cheesy thing above.
Now on to the fun of Scouts. Because no post about Aaron would be complete without Scouts. He is a Cub Scout through and through and is reaching for his Arrow of Light.We did do a family campout last weekend up at the Boy Scout Camp Wakonda. It was a pretty fun trip, other then the freezing cold temps that Saturday night. We did our 3 mile hike, which wouldn't have been so bad. Except it wasn't until you got to the bottom of the hill that you realized you had to go back up it. Oh, and then down the next and up again.
I didn't do very well taking pictures this time around. I was too distracted doing other things. We did do foil packets for supper. Each of the boys made there own meals. We used alluminum foil and layered cabbage on the bottom, followed by hamburger and your choice of vegies (potatoes, onion, grn pepper, carrots, mushrooms, corn, green beans, mushroom soup, lawrey's seasoning) and topped with a good dallop of butter. DELISH!!
Cooking our foil packets...
Aaron "finally" discovered smores on this camping trip. As many times as we've tried to convince him that roasted marshmallows are really good, he wouldn't have anything to do with them. Well, we had a major break through in the picky eating department. My son actually likes smores.lol
