Hunter's busy week

This week has been a very fun and exciting week for Hunter. First of all, at school Hunter dressed up as George Washington, his hero, and his class put on a wax museum exhibit. All the students had sticker on their hand that people were to press to activate the Wax statutes. So, Hunter was the wax statue of GW. His teacher let the students all decide their own thing that they could say and Hunter's went somthing like this, "Hello, My name is George Washington. I want to be remembered for the Washington Monument. If I were to come back today, I would free America from the British." It was so cute! He did a fantastic job. Stacey made a cool costume for him, equipped with a white wig with curls like in that time period. Then, later that night Hunter received his bobcat award in cub scouts. I think I embarassed him some. The ward does not present the bobcat in the 'traditional' manner of turning the kid upside down and the mother pinning the badge on - once the kid does a good turn, then the badge is turned right-side up. Anyway, I asked the scout leaders if we could do that and they thought it would be great. So, I turned Hunter upside down and Mommy placed the badge on him. We were so proud of him getting his bobcat badge. He memorized all the cub scout promises, mottos, handshakes, etc. and worked on the requirements for getting the badge. He is on his way in the scouting program.

Today (Sat. March 1), our family got together with the neighbors - the Feigers and ate lunch. Before that, Hunter and Ryan played with their little boys in the park. The weather was absolutely beautiful today, pretty warm for this time of year - around 70 degrees. After lunch, Hunter and I sat up his baseball pitch-back and he played with that all afternoon. He said that he wants to become as good as Clint Barmes from the Colorado Rockies. It didn't take Hunter long to get the hang of the device and in no time he was easily catching the balls that would come bouncing back in his direction. That kid wants to be a ball player!!
