Scoutarama...

About a month ago, Jazzy and I were in the grocery store when all of the sudden we heard...."Hey look, there's that little girl who dances with our sisters". "Let's go get her".... It happened in slow motion and I tried to run, but wasn't fast enough. Suddenly we were surrounded by Cub Scouts and a couple of dads. "Could you please buy some Scoutarama tickets". I didn't know what a Scoutarama was, but felt somewhat obligated. I saw the date they were holding it, ... April 14th, and thought - why in the world would they want to have it in April? It will be 100 degrees by then!

I almost threw out the tickets when we got home. So, obviously we went today. It was a nice cool day- extremely unusual. Every Cub Scout Den from the entire state of Arizona was there. They had it at Kiwanis Park in Tempe,

and it took up the entire park.... which is an entire city block. There were all kinds of science projects, obstacle courses, "calf" roping, arts and crafts, singing performances by the Cub Scouts.. (ouch my ears!), home made rockets going off, little derby car races, chess tournaments, and little mini seminars given by the little Scouts on how to start a fire, make an oven out of a cardboard box, and other interesting things. Cabella's, REI and other companies were there to show the latest and greatest new camping/hiking equipment. There were probably around 1000 people there! Just something that I really wasn't looking forward to, and felt I had to go because our friends were there from our dance troop, and then it turned out to be really fun! Jazzy watching a chess tournament. Making all kinds of crafts. One booth we visited had to do with dairy cattle and beef production... i.e. all of the different cuts of beef that I have long forgotten. Love how Jazzy made the udder pink and put a pink heart brand on the cow:)) Eating the free ice cream.
