Awesome weekend

I'm a little late with this update, but as they say, better late than never! I wanted to write about the fun weekend I had two weekends ago. It started on Saturday when I was given the opportunity to go to a Father/Daughter dance at school with Sydney. She picked out my tie and was kind enough to pick race cars (my favorite!) and she wore her Easter dress so that she was extra fancy. Julie, always thinking ahead, had bought a bracelet for me to give her to remember the night. She's so good at stuff like that - don't know why that kind of stuff never occurs to me. I'm a guy - go figure. We drove Donatella which was a treat for Sydney and she commented that nobody else drove a sports car to the dance. :) We arrived at the school right on time and walked into the cafeteria/commons area that was being used for the dance. We walked in on a red carpet and had paparazzi taking pictures of us as we walked in and then stopped at "security" before we were let inside the velvet rope. They took a picture of us that they gave to Sydney as a magnet later in the week. We had a good time doing the loco-motion, Chicken Dance and having fun in general. The organizers did a great job and it made for a nice evening with Sydney. She was pretty tired and it was a pretty quiet drive home.
The next day Max and I went to the Cub Scout camp and had a good time doing archery and BB guns. Max likes archery the best but they had new targets that were made of really hard foam and most of the time everyone's arrows didn't stick. It is already a nervous affair - 1st through 4th graders with bows and arrows and guns, add in bouncing arrows and that just kicks it up a notch. We really stress the safety aspect but also allow the boys to have fun. Max was able to start on archery and then shoot BB guns for a bit and then back to archery before it was time to call it a day. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend the weekend - hopefully the kids enjoyed it, too.
