Warrant Officer Ball and Distric pinewood derby

On Saturday, March 5th, David and I had the warrant officer ball and Michael had district pinewood derby.  This is where all the scouts from the area, as far away as Weisbaden (about an hour) get together.  The top four in each den in each pack gets to race.  Since Michael took first in his den he was eligible to race.

Getting ready for the big race!

You can see that there were a lot of spectators there to watch.

AJ and Michael have a celebratory lunch after the races.  He did great and had a lot of fun!!!


While the boys were enjoying their time back home, we were enjoying our time in Garmisch!!  we started out the morning by taking a wonderful run!!!  It was beautiful and we had a great time.  We then strolled around town, had some lunch, relaxed in the hot tub and then decided we should get ready for the ball.


David and I at the ball!!!  Don't we make such a handsome couple!!!


They did such a great job in decorating in the theme under the sea!!


We were both surprised as David was one of the Warrant Officers that was awarded the Order of the Rising Eagle bronze level.  It was a huge surprise and honor for David!  They give the  awards for those who go above and beyond in the warrant officer association.  I am so proud of my husband!!!


They had the jazz band playing while we were eating.  They were really great!!!


It was a wonderful evening!!  We danced, laughed and played in the snow a little.  It was starting to really snow hard!!  It was a perfect ending to a wonderful day!!!!
