So, Sadie and Cody attended a 4-H rocket day camp. They had a great time learning how rockets are powered, how to make them and how to launch them. They got to launch them twice and get to enter their rockets in the fair.

Cody just received his Wolf badge for cub scouts last night. He refused to hug me back when I tried to hug him. What a stinker!

The boys spreading out one of the flags to cut into smaller pieces. You can see the man in the background who played the bagpipe while they cut the flags.

After the advancement ceremony where Cody got his badge, the scouts retired several American Flags. They cut them up and then asked the VFW representative if they had permission to retire the flag, he would salute them and say, "permission granted" then they would walk the flag pieces to the fire and put it on. I was touching to witness.

Hope you all are keeping busy like we are! Keep in touch!
