Tuesday the Cub Scouts got a tour of the movie theater. Interesting to see all that new stuff, digital projectors and all. And found out why movies are so expensive, because next year all movies will be digitally projected and the theaters all need to upgrade them, and the projectors ain't cheap. Also, corralling a couple dozen Cub Scouts in a place where they can't touch anything is not easy. Getting them to be quiet isn't easy either, so I hope nobody in the theaters heard us. Wednesday I went back to the doctor to have the stitches in my back removed, and got the biopsy report...benign, it was just a mole. I also managed to tear the site open the first time I got out of a car after the stitches were out, so they probably didn't do much good the past week. On Wednesday, Missy also had her first t-ball practice. She was supposed to have one last week but we kind of spaced on it. It's been a long time since we signed up and it kinda went out of mind. Anyway, she did a good job but she's not nearly as aggressive as many of the other kids. Thursday Beth and I went to the elementary school to meet with Miss Zellers, who will be Alex's teacher in the gifted and talented class next year. I think that is going to be great for him. Friday, Alex had his first sleepover at the Monsma's house. They probably spent the entire time talking about Pokemon. Yesterday, we did yard work most of the morning and early afternoon, when it was time to take Missy off to girl scout camp! The camp is up by North Webster, and on the drive there, the skies got darker and darker....milling about in the parking lot, it started spitting just a tiny bit. And we had Missy's rain coat and umbrella, but nothing to cover her sleeping bag and clothes until she could get them into the cabins a quarter mile away. She could barely carry everything she had to bring, and she was supposed to carry them all on a hike? In the rain? But one of the leaders had a garden wheelbarrow just for such a thing and toted most of Missy's stuff for her. The skies were getting darker and darker as we were in the process of dropping her off, and shortly after we drove away, the heavens opened up and it started raining, hard. Lightning and all. But we let her go. Today we picked her up at about 10 this morning, and she had a great big smile on her face as she came to us. She had a great time, and the girls all stayed dry and had plenty to do out of the rain. Yay!
