We had a very successful Bike Rodeo at the Scout Show on Saturday. I know because I got a sunburn and I sweated my butt off, unfortinatly not literally ; ) !
I showed up with Scout at 8am but then we had to wait around till after the opening ceromony to set up. The scoutmaster Stan showed up and after opening ceromony we had two of my cubs show and four Boy Scouts. Mike from the sheriff's dept showed up and we proceeded to set up our Rodeo. He went through the whole course with our boys and then we started letting the other kids ride through it. We had at least 100 kids go through. Most of them were already scouts but I think about 20% were just visitors.
When a kid came up to go on the course we had someone there to help them find a bike that would fit them then that same person would lead them through the course. All the scouts participated and even had a little fun too. Like when there was some slow times the boys hopped on bikes and had a race.
I never even had a chance to see the other displays and or games that was at the event but when I started hearing kids ask how much does this cost I was releived that we did not charge for our booth. Turns out that the other booths were charging for the games. Then they ended up giving the money to FOS. Which I guess is fine but maybe they should have just asked for a donation instead.
So after all was said and done I don't know what the big deal was for me to get a call from Steve saying that we did not have enough scouts to run a bike rodeo. Not only that but that I was threatened verbally. I never said one word to Steve all day long and he never came up to me to say anything. I personally think we did a great job and think that we deserve some kind of pat on the back. I know it was not the traditional Bike Rodeo in the sense that the kids bring their own bikes but we had nine bikes to pick from. I think the only complaint we got was about the hot hot hot weather. Must have been 100 degrees out with no cloud cover. I got burned even though I put on lotion, twice!
Well at least I don't have to worry about it anymore.
Scout had a Band concert last night. They played really well. Feret and Carlos were supposed to keep the Baby buzy so I could watch the thing but sure enough they were back and left Baby with me. He tried to be patient but the view of the doors to the outside were too much so we walked out for a few min. then he let me come back and watch again.
Danny and I are doing well. He comes over all the time after work and I go see him at work when I get off. I have lucked out and have not had to cook dinner this week at all, Thank God. I really do like cooking but when the kids only eat three things it gets kind of difficult to make them eat and you end up making two dinners. Last night Danny came over and brought me some pink tulips and a card that asked if he can love me forever and ever! Really cute.
