Blue and Gold Banquet

Well I took part in my first ever Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet...I think I'm an official Bear leader now. It was a Chinese New Year theme and we went all out! Pizza and salad...eaten with chopsticks. Okay so we didn't make it extravagant but we had fun and the boys made a cool dragon that they ran around in. I think the boys are finally warming up to me. After they saw I own a pair of Vans and know that I play playstation they actually talk to me now. I guess we just needed somthing in common! Go BEARS!

Black Dragon

Well after two weeks of being sick our family finally escaped the stale air in our home and went to a cool slot canyon about 1 hour from our house. It's called Black Dragon. Pretty amazing place. We enjoyed the 45 degree weather and the fresh air. We were the first to arrive at the canyon but while we were exploring we had about 5 horses and riders pass us and two trucks and later two suped up landcruisers. It was nice to see that the warmer weather was drawing out all crowds. We saw some pretty crazy indian art and a neat cave also.

My Valentine!

Dinner Time

First off I would like to give props to the individual who invented ranch dressing! It has to be in the top 10 creations of all time. Seriously what do carrots taste like...Ranch. What about lettuce...Ranch. Broccoli..you guessed it RANCH!!! I would probably never eat vegetables without this nectar from the gods.
If you haven't guessed we had a nice salad with dinner tonight. One idea we have tried in the past is the kids can earn rewards for trying new foods. So now Cru often tries to trick us by telling us he has never eating things before, Like say chicken, "but I've never eaten it like this before". He tried this again tonight with the tomatoes cut up in the salad. He hates tomatoes, but he told us that he would try them again to see if he liked them now. He had this very serious face on and muttering under his breath he started chanting, "it's going to taste good..it's going to taste good." his face grimacing more and more the closer it came to his mouth. Finally one last gonna taste good and in it went.....He promptly gagged and stated he still didn't like tomatoes. So much for positive affirmations. He should of put some ranch on it!
