Scouts and Party

On Thursday AJ had a "go see it" with the scouts.  It was their last item on their sheet for their next rank.  It was to go to a TV station, so their leader set up a time for them to go visit the AFN (American Forces Network) studio.  I have never been inside one either so it was cool to be able to see. 

 

They are waiting for the tour to begin.  It is so cute when AJ is such a good big brother - he really loves his little brother!

Here they are telling the kids about the photography part of it.  He actually let them hold the camera.  All the parents there were really, really nervous that they would drop it.  It was not a cheap camera that is for sure.

 

Here AJ is giving his scout leader a "look" - Gotta love this kid!!!

Here they are actually going to be on tv, they did a little intro.  They were really excited about it!!  They also did the cub scout promise on TV.

Here they were watching the play back of what they just did. 

Then they got to go back on stage and act as silly as they wanted to.

 

And even sillier.  They cracked me up!!  They are all looking at the screen over there with them on tv.  They learned a lot and had a great time doing it!!!

 

Then on Saturday the boys were invited to a friend's birthday party - it was a GREAT birthday party.  It was a mad scientist party.

 

They started out the party by making "molecules" out of marshmallows and toothpicks.  It ended up whatever they really wanted but it really kept all 30 of the kids entertained (I know, crazy woman she was to have that many there)

 

She had a really cute photo booth app on her I-pad so she took pictures of all the kids and then laminated them into book marks - Here is AJ

 

And Michael - they also had cool name tags that had Dr. Michael and Dr. Albert

 

Here was another one of their science experiments - Mentos in pop - you can see the brown pop out there.  The kids LOVED this one!!  Who doesn't when pop explodes.  They also did one more that involved making an egg float in water.  Like I said, a really cool party!!

 

You can see all the kids had such a great time!!!  After that we had three extra kids come over for the evening and had a wonderful time!!!  They are the cutest kids!!  One is a little girl and almost makes me want to have another one, almost.  I will live vicariously through others when it comes to girls!
