O.K. I know I started to write about Vegas and then just stopped.  Last week was much busier than anticipated, and to be honest when I wasn’t busy I just didn’t feel like turning on a computer and typing anything on this blog.<\/p>\n

So, hopefully, I can finish up the Vegas trip stuff here in the next couple of days.  In the mean time, here’s an update of some of the "bigger" items that happened last week.<\/p>\n

So, let’s see… Monday through Wednesday.  Not much significant (that I can remember) to report.  Worked around the house, and tried to keep the boy entertained on his second week of Spring break.  On Wednesday night "the boy" had one of his buddies stay over night.<\/p>\n

Thursday,  the boy, his buddy, and I head off to the public library to do some research for an animal report the kids are working on in school.  Michael’s friend was totally against this at first saying "Homework and libraries are for nerds and geek’s".  But this guy soon got into the whole process of research and took home more information on his animal, the Gibbon, than the boy, whose animal is the sponge. <\/p>\n

Friday we headed off to the butterfly pavilion<\/a> near Denver. Now I’d like to say this was for fun, but it wasn’t.  The school is having a science fair and the boy is doing an experiment that involves butterflies.   The Butterfly Pavilion was nice enough to let us come in, free of charge, and spend 2.5 hours conducting the boys experiment.  It was kind of fun, but sitting in a 85 degree (at least) room with 100% humidity for that long was a bit of a challenge for all of us.<\/p>\n

Saturday, the wife spent the morning going door to door campaigning for our friend Mark Waller<\/a>.  I got to stay home and watch the kids.  I am not sure who got the better end of that deal.  The boy did go over to a buddies house for a sleep over, but ended coming home at midnight when he "couldn’t fall asleep".<\/p>\n

Sunday, off to wonderful Limon, Colorado for the annual High Plains District<\/a> awards dinner (Cub Scouts).  I’ve personally have no issue with Limon, but the hour plus drive with nothing to look at but fields is a bit of a challenge.  The dinner was small but very nice.  Heck, I even won a District Level award for the stuff I’ve done this year, so not bad at all.<\/p>\n

Tonight we had our first Den meeting of the month.  This months theme is Abracubdabra and deals with magic.  So tonight each boy learned three magic rope tricks.  I think they had fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
