Cub Scouts end of the year crossover and BBQ

Brandon had a really fun end of the year Cub Scout BBQ with his pack at Cook Park.  It was a bit hectic as it was the Tuesday before school got out and we had a lot going on but it was really fun to all get together.  The BBQ food was really good too!  The pack arranged to have The Reptile guy come and share some of his fun reptiles with all of us.  He was super funny and hands on.  Brandon got called up right away and got to hold a turtle on stage.  After he was done with his presentation, the kids had their Crossover to their new rankings-Brandon left the Tiger den and became a Wolf.  It was a cute ceremony and a fun way to end the Cub Scout year.

Mini Olympics in June



Olivia had her third Mini Olympics in early June where she got to showcase all of her gymnastics skills she learned over the year at Westside.  She was in the 4-5s class this year and learned so much.  Towards the end of the year, she learned how to do a cartwheel.  Now she is working on a one handed cartwheel and does cartwheels everywhere so she can practice.  She loved having her best friend Addie in her class this year.  We also enjoyed also having the class on Sundays which is a much calmer day at Westside than Saturdays.  Olivia loved having teacher Stephanie as her teacher again this year.  Stephanie is a sweet fit Grandma who looks like she is barely older than me and Olivia loved her.  Olivia's class learned a floor routine and they practiced it most of the year.  Unfortunately the mini olympics was on a early Sunday morning at 8:30 AM so just Sean, Brandon, and I went but we had a lot of fun watching Olivia and it was nice that it was over by 10:30.  Olivia had a blast and is looking forward to her Mini Olympics next year already.
