The Cup Song for the Cub Scouts

The Cub Scouts Blue and Gold Banquet is just around the corner and this year the boys must learn a skit. We decided to do the Cup Song. I wanted The Cisco Kid to make a video demonstrating the cup song real slow so the other scouts can practice it during the week. The second video is of him demonstrating the Cup Song for the 5th time. Every time he did a take he altered something. The video shows him totally not wanting to do another take. The first video is of me demonstrating it in slow and fast motion and that is the one I had to send out to all the scouts.

I will show this video to every girlfriend he will ever have.

Our new family member

The Cisco Kid has been wanting a pet for a very long time now. We finally got him one. On Sunday we went to PetCo where they have shelter animals up for adoption. We went there for a kitten and they had many kittens and cats to chose from. But there was only one with the personality that fit our family. When The Cisco Kid walked up to his age the kitten stuck his paw out and tried to touch him. We then had him hold the kitten and in that second he felt the kitten purring. The Cisco Kid said it feels and sounds like a motorcycle vibrating. We adopted to kitten and named him Comet. He is now a new member of our family.

He is not afraid of the water. The way he acts he thinks he is a dog.

Cub Scout and the Showman pin

Another achievement completed. This one is called the Showman. They had to make a sock puppet, give the puppet a name, give the puppet a character and write a part for their puppet. They also had to write the play and decorate the set. Open the link to see the show.

At the Pack meeting they performed their show for everyone. They got big laughs. General Camo Is The Cisco Kid.

A night at the Museum

Last night we went to MOSH and had a Cub Scout Camp - In. The boys were all so excited spend the night at the Museum. It was a great experience. We had the whole Museum to our selves. We had scheduled events. First the boys had some play time, then we saw a planetarium show, followed by pizza. After Pizza we all went up to the roof top and looked through a telescope at Jupiter. The views up there were really great. Next stop are the animals. They had the turtles and possum running around for the boys to pet them. Then off to the science room. This was really fun. It was called thunder and lightning experiment. The scientist showed how lightning is charged and how it travels, how clouds are made using boiling liquid added to liquid Nitrogen, the impact of thunder using a Hydrogen filled balloon and making it explode when heat is applied. Then there was some free Museum time and the boys ran all over playing. At 10:30 p.m. they played the movie…Night at the Museum II. After watching the movie a couple of boys got a little spooked. The Cisco Kid was seeing lights flash on him and he got scared. One other boy got scared of the life size astronaut suit that was in the museum. The movie really got to them.
They finally went to sleep at around 1:00 a.m.
