Who needs Disneyland when you have scouting?

Since everyone else in the neighborhood went to Disneyland for Spring Break, we decided to have a little fun of our own. We're working on Scout pins, badges , and belt loops. Eat your heart out, Disney Fans!
The boys spent all morning working on things from their books. Jake is a little reluctant lately to 'enjoy' Scouts. Too bad. It's a family requirement. Cheer up, Charlie! And, Get 'er Done! We built bridges with Sam's blocks for his engineering pin. Then, we worked on his science pin which involves a lot of air, water, and atmospheric pressure experiments as well as some optical illusions. Scouts was actually fun, no kidding!
I saved the two toughest parts for last : the bowling belt loop and the video games belt loop. (Seriously, there's a video game belt loop now!) We learned the safety and etiquette rules of bowling and then we had to apply them. So, we grabbed some friends and headed to the bowling alley.

Jake won with a score of 91 in the second game.
Cam has an awesome throw/toss/ swing? Whatever it's called!
Josh actually leaves the floor with both feet when he runs to the lane with his ten pound ball!Sam came for moral support for his Scouting brothers, but ended up flirting with the girls instead!

On the way home, they pooled their money to buy a new Wii game. They're are currently forcing themselves to play said game for at least half an hour to complete the requirements for the Video Game belt loop. Life is tough. Cross your fingers that they make it!
