Last night was a fun night. After dinner we headed over to a school in our district that was hosting Alpha night. Alpha is what they call the GT (Gifted and Talented) program in our district. I strongly do not like the name, but whatever.
They had a bunch of well, games for the kids to do. They are STEM projects--building robots, building rockets, building circuitry, making items to put in the wind tube, etc. They boys had a lot of fun. Dylan's item almost hit the ceiling in the wind tube challenge.

It came about 2 inches one of the times.

Then we went over to church because Blake has earned his Bear, so I got to paint on his face. It was with water colors so it came off really easily....so my masterpiece is gone.

Blake earned his Bear rank....yippy! He didn't need to wear his scout uniform because they were playing volleyball afterwards.
Blake will start the webelos program next week, which is a couple of months early, but we wanted to make sure he has time to earn webelos and AOL by Dec. 31. Good work bud!!
