B's First Official Pinewood Derby!




Last Friday was the big Pinewood Derby for our stake. B has been waiting for this day since he started scouts last October, so we were all excited when the day finally had come. He chose everything about his car- shape,color, & decals. He had a lot of fun making it and was confident it would kill the competition. When it came to race time it didn't exactly do that. His car did all right but it didn't win. B didn't care though he just loved the whole experience and had fun cheering his friends cars on when his was out. That is one of the things I have to say that I love about B the most. He is so laid back about things like that. He loves to win but when it doesn't happen he doesn't get upset he just takes his "Best Use of Color" award and runs with it! Great job B!

Foster Fields Farm - Morristown NJ







This past week I took the boys to Foster Fields Farm with some friends. It is a living farm so the kids learn a lot too. The people that run it are very nice and love to answer any questions about the animals and farm. H could not get enough of it. It was really fun because all the animals had just had their babies. I know the pic of the pigs isn't that great but they were definitely the highlight! They were so cute and the kids sat and watched them for a long time. It was a beautiful day and H can't wait to go back he has talked about it every day since!
