The Cub Scouts hiked the Iron Horse yesterday. Bright and early, we met up at the school at 8:00 and headed up to Potato Creek. The kids all did great, considering that we all walked a lot A LOT further than we'd planned and there was a long line for lunch. They also didn't have as much stuff there as Brad and I thought there would be. We thought there was going to be a lot more activities there besides just hiking, especially for the tiger cubs, but what they did have was pretty insignificant. I guess the hike is the thing. Don't get me wrong...it is a nice hike. Anyway, we took a wrong turn somewhere out there, and there was some incorrect information on the flyers. There was supposed to be a 1 mile, 2.5 mile, and 10 mile hike (we wanted the 2.5 mile), but I believe there was only a 2 mile and 5 mile. At least that's all I saw. And the wrong turn we took sent us on a long stretch of the hike in the backwards direction. We must have covered the entire 5 miles of the hike and then some. Then of course was the long line for lunch, which was very reasonable priced, which was good. There was also a field maze but it wasn't much. So, of all the activities we thought there was going to be, it was pretty much just a hike. We need to look into the Camporee in FW for next year, I hear it's nice. Anyway, while we were gone (until about 4) Beth and Kathy went to McD's for lunch, where Kathy tripped and fell and broke two bones in her hand. As we got back to town she was seeing an orthopedic surgeon. Turns out she didn't need surgery, but she is in a lot of pain. She had some shock to go with it. We kept the kids at our house for a while until she was all taken care of. Today we were planning on going to Splash Park (Zimmer club had discount tickets for today) for some indoor water fun, but decided to take it easy and skip the park since Missy is just getting over being sick. We did get together with a bunch of friends from church to have dinner out with the Myers, since they are leaving town soon since he got a new job. Tomorrow, bright and early, I go to Vancouver for work again.
