Skyler: School and Scouts

The past couple of weeks have been very busy!
Skyler started the Fourth Grade. Can you believe it?
He's in a new school (closer to home) and loves it so far.

Here he is waiting for his bus with Layla on the
first day of school:

Skyler has been busy with Scouts this year.
A couple of weeks ago, we had "Scouts Night"
at a Burlington Bee's baseball game. Skyler
entered a railroad safety coloring contest
before the game: (he didn't win, but did great!)

At the entrance:

The scouts got to walk onto the field before
the game for the National Anthem: (Skyler is
the middle one in the blue)

Skyler made a new friend:

We were sitting in a pretty good spot:

There were fireworks after the game:


This week, the Scouts had a picnic and some
games. Skyler practiced some "jousting":

He also learned how to dress like
a missionary in a hurry:

Then he received some awards. Does he look
nervous here?:

I think I'm sensing some pride in his
accomplishments:
