It was a day of back to back events. Julia had a party in the middle of town, then we zoooooomed over to Bloomfield for the Cross Over ceremony. We made it just in time to see our Webelo 1's become Webelo 2's. This will be the last time Devin crosses over to a Cub Scout rank. If he continues with it, next year he'll become a Boy Scout (or MAN SCOUT as they say at sleepaway camp).
It was funny to watch our grown up boys acting as role models while I watched the younger scouts running amok. It wasn't but a few years ago it was our little Tiger Cubs who were dancing with ants in their pants.
Ellen and I were very much thinking about the 5th grade yearbook as we gathered our boys together for a "class shot". Ah, one of 4,000 pix down.
Devin and E were running around after the ceremony (ok, so they aren't as far from being Tigers as I thought) and Devin wiped out on the pavement. One of those really hearty, left all my skin on the pavement kind of wipeouts. Since it was pretty early in the season, the recently trained lifeguards swarmed over to him like he was a shoplifter at Macy's. We initially said he was fine, and we'd clean it up at home. But after seeing the sad looks on their faces as they were dying to use some first aid skills, we relented. They did a great job, all bandaged up!
