Caleb has brought our family into the world of Boy Scouts this year. Instead of sitting on the sidelines of a game this past Saturday, I was lined up alongside an inflatable pool, cheering for a boat, propelled by air blown through a straw.
He doesn’t have a uniform yet because every time Josh tries to order from their website, it fails and doesn’t go through. I think it might be a sign that I’m supposed to keep that $100 for something else.
It was sort of like baseball — fun while your kid is up to bat, but the rest of the time is spent wondering how long it’s going to last.
Supportive Siblings!
At least Caleb got to compete in several races, so those 5 minutes were pretty exciting.
This is the race that he won — the other times he had trouble keeping the boat from running into the wall or from tipping over. He got better with more practice, until his sail started getting waterlogged.
The paint started washing off and he didn’t win, but my little Scout was just happy to be there with all of his friends.
