Andrew's Busy Week

This past week Andrew was able to have his first experiences as a cub scout and I think it is going to take.  I mean.... he really really loved it.  Even the hot, sweaty, sticky weather didn't keep him from enjoying this full week of cub camp.  I only have these pictures that his den leader sent me... but I think his favorite things were the bow and arrow and BB gun shooting.  He also made a birdhouse, a leather bookmark and lots of other things that I can't remember.  He also loved the day that a firetruck came and turned the house on all of the boys.  

Then.... on Saturday Andrew participated in a triathlon.  He decided he wanted to do this and worked pretty hard with Aaron to get ready.  I am so proud of him.  The 7-9 year old category that he participated in swam 50 meters, biked 1.2 miles and then ran 1/4 mile.  

 He wasn't really able to give a real smile yet at this point... he was pretty wiped out.

 But it only took a few minutes for him to perk up and get giddy excited again.  I think the medal, and goody bag helped.  :)

The whole thing was so much fun and I think my boy is awesome.  I hope Andrew will look back at this and remember how good it felt to work hard and accomplish something big.
