Been a bit busy today. First off we had our duties with our Scout Troop. On several of the holidays we will put up flags at the local VA medical center here in town. When we are done, the entire drive into the VA has flags ever 15 meters for around a quarter of a mile. It is really a nice site to see. (No pics cause I don't feel too terrible comfortable posting up pics of other people's kids without their permission.) Afterwards we usually head out for breakfast. We came home, I got some time to shave (no shave November can kiss my grits, that beard was itchy!) and get our Scout uniforms on, then head into town for the Veterans Day Parade here in town. Someone finally listened to me and got all the Scout Troops together instead of spread out throughout the parade, so that was good. Finally got that wrapped up, then headed home for a little R&R. Me and the boy played video games for a little bit, then I told him we needed to wrap it up while he did his chores. While he was getting those knocked out, I went outside to see what we had around for options for a fire. Turns out we didn't need much and we got some water boiled for a nice big cup of hot cocoa for the boy. Here's some pics of how it all went down. Enjoy.
He started off holding the baton in his left hand, which he learned was probably wrong when he smacked his other hand with it. Got him straightened out and it went pretty well from there on out. All in all, good times, and we got to make fire like I had regretted not doing yesterday.
