Blue/Gold Banquet

Last Tuesday night was the Cub Scout Blue/Gold banquet. It was a Western theme and we had a lot of fun. Cole had to prepare and give a 2-3 minute speech on Wyatt Earp. Even though he hates speaking in front of others, he did a really good job. All of the kids were given a bandanna and a sheriff's badge to wear that night. I snapped some funny photos of the evening.

Here is Cole getting ready for the program to start.

Here is Jacob with the bandanna and sheriff's badge that they gave him. He's making a goofy face as usual and I'm not sure what look he was going for exactly in the picture on the right. Silly kid! :)

There is a family in our ward who was showing the kids how to rope a cow. They had a mechanical cow there and it was really cool. The boy is Jacob's age, and Jacob thought it was so cool that he could do that. He roped the head and then his dad roped the feet. It was pretty neat to watch that. :)

Here is Cole's speech about Wyatt Earp. He did a really good job with it. We are so proud of Cole. He is such a good example to his brother. Jacob can't wait for scouts so that he can do all the fun things that Cole gets to do. I'm sad that this is Cole's last year as a Cub Scout! He's going to be an 11 year old scout soon which means he will be going on overnites like the big kids do, boo hoo! Jacob only has 6 weeks left until he's 8 and then he'll be a Wolf! I can't believe how time is flying! :(
