Scout pack meeting

Carson earned some academic pins at pack meeting.

The pictures below are of us trying to get gum out of a wrapper with snow gloves on. It's harder than I thought and a ton of fun. Those pack leaders did such a great job. We had a fun night!

Michelle working to get her gum.She did it pretty fast but not as fast as Juan.

Grandma working hard to get her piece of gum. She said she really needed it because she didn't get to brush her teeth before she came (She had onions with dinner).

Carson getting his piece of gum and having fun trying.

Juan was a speed demon. He had his piece in like 2 second.

Carlos had to work very hard for his gum. He dropped it on the ground and ate some of the wrapper but he was successful and did get his gum finally out of the wrapper.

Michaela was one of the firsts to go for our team. She used her teeth wisely and was pretty fast at it. She had great tips to get your piece of gum even faster.

Carson said the ground was steadier than the table.

Do you think Carson Had Any Fun ?????

Carson loves guns and has loved guns since he was very little. He has always wanted to be a police officer or something in the law enforcement field like his grandpa. After all his shooting practices, grandpa, grandma, mom, dad and some other friends, believe Carson would make a great sniper. He has a steady hand, great eyes, and great aim. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens in his future. At least he has a great start.
