It's February and time for the Blue and Gold!!

If you grew up a Cub Scout or were sibling to a Cub Scout you know all about the annual Blue and Gold banquet. Becky is the new Cub Scout Committee Chairperson and was in charge of the banquet this year for Jonah's pack. The theme was Chinese New Year. Jonah earned his Wolf badge and a few arrow points. He worked on the badge requirements right up until the day before the banquet (picking up trash and checking the house for fire dangers).





His pack also put on a couple of great skits.


Basketball Champ

Jonah finished his basketball season today, February 23rd, by playing four games in a season ending tournament. He made a written goal earlier in the season of making a basket during one of his games. He came so very close during one of the games today on a fast break opportunity, but the ball literally bounced out of the rim after his shot. His team made it to the championship game of the tournament but lost by just four points. He returned home spent of energy after the tournament. The last game was played on a full court with regulation baskets. Natalie had her fill of the tournament by the end of the third game but stuck it out with the promise that the next game "was almost over."

Congratulations Jonah on your Wolf! That is wonderful. I'm so proud of you. Wow! Maybe when you come here you can do a safety check of my house for me. That would be good. Keep up the good goals and doing you best. I love you! Grandma Ricks
