Last night the Cub Scouts had a skating event at the Bremerton Skateland. Upon arrival we found several Boy Scouts had joined us as well. It was a family event, and all were invited. For $1 each, everyone could don a pair of skates and take to the glossy wooden boards.
Not me, I manned the video camera, the 35mm camera, and the scout merit badge book and printouts! I think this will be the place will will return to so the boys can all complete their badge work.
First steps out onto the floor. Amber was trying out the in-line skates passed onto her from her friend Ellie Dawson. Once around the floor and she was off and asking if she could get the other kind.
Daryn borrowed the video camera at one point to get some "B roll" for our "green screen" and future video projects.
Ethan kept to the center most of the time. He was trying to learn just how to go forward without falling. By the end of the evening, he had it down!
The kids are taking a break for a bite to eat. As this was a potluck event, families with last names starting with A through M would bring a fruit or vegetable dish to share (enough for your family plus 2). We brought Broccoli Supreme, and I am happy to report, it was an instant hit. No one else brought a substantial meal. Letters N-Z were supposed to bring a main dish. There wasn't any in sight. There were a couple pies, some cheese and crackers, a plate of cut up oranges, a bag of grapes, and some marshmallow fruit concoction. Needless to say, we came home and fixed a little more to eat!
Daryn is signing that his feet are hurting! I think Vicky would be happy to know, we still retain some of our sign language skills!
Evyn had some trouble with balance. You'd be happy to know, he did NOT fall over at this point. He regained his center and continued on. They were also trying to learn how to skate backwards. They did learn to "shoot the duck" and Ian did get the basics of skating backwards. Lots more to learn and complete before that merit badge is awarded!
