Scouting on the Mall! The Grand Centennial Parade!

What a Sunday we had around here! John and Jesse headed into DC and marched in the BSA Grand Centennial Parade along with 10,000 other scouts, floats, balloons and the CLASSIC CARS. I wasn't able to go and the girls decided to stay here and make an amazing yummy dessert for the boys to come home to. Paula Dean Pound Cake with fresh cherries and strawberries. I'm told it was yummy. A big thanks to the gbattery for snapping a few along the parade route for me. I am so grateful for Scouting and all that it's provided for my sons over the last 10 years. We've only missed 1 year in scouting out of the last 10 the boys have been eligible. Adam became a Tiger on the beaches of Monterey, Ca and crossed over to Boy Scouting on the Beaches of Normandy in France. Campouts, cookouts, merit badges, time with Grandpa Coombs and Dad on numerous overnights and hikes are wonderful parts of his childhood years. Now Jman has scout camps for 2 years, 3 years with the same den, wreath laying on Washington's Tomb at Mt. Vernon, Dad as his Den leader, and a march on Washington celebrating 100 years of Scouting all under his belt. (along with MANY belt loops I might add!) I wonder what Scouting in Kuwait will look like?! Enjoy the slide show. I am so very proud of my hubby and son!
