Cub Camp 2010, Day 2: Galaxy Quest

Day two of cub camp produced a fair amount more footage. I've finally found a few moments to edit it and post to YouTube.
The boys really seemed to have a great time. And so did I. It was definitely a dirty experience. But what fun is Scout camp if you don't go home with a little dirt under your nails!

4th of July Weekend

Here are a couple of short clips of some parade-time fun we had as a family this weekend.

The first video is of the Riverton Town Days Parade. My brother and his wife were very kind to arrange the great spot from which to enjoy the parade. They also cooked up a delicious dessert to share! And we loved watching our niece march in the parade with her high school band. This is the same video clip I previously posted straight to Facebook, but hopeful the resolution is a little bit better with this post.

The next video is of our annual neighborhood parade. We have an awesome neighbor that goes to a good deal of effort to organize this fun gathering. The children love dressing up in their star-spangled funnest, decorating bikes, scooters, strollers, etc., and cruising through the neighborhood to the beat of a drum line. We end the parade at the city park by our neighborhood where the children enjoy face painting, popsicles, and other treats. What an awesome neighborhood we live in!

Rae got this great shot. I think our neighborhood looks really pretty in this shot. And the color of the parade looks great against the green of the trees.





Besides the parade, we also enjoyed a nice little family picnic at my parents' house. It was great to see my cousin who lives in Minnesota there as well.



Finally, we ended the weekend with another picnic at my wife's parents' house. The following clip shows a bit of the fun and games we enjoyed there.

Overall, this has been a fantastic 4th of July weekend. It makes me very proud to be an American. I'm very grateful to God for this great nation. May he bless us all to preserve the freedoms we enjoy.
