It was great to be able to go with Bret on Sundays. I hope to get passes again but we are on a little break now. The kids go on all the crazy rides now. Nikki&#8217;s favorite is Space Mountain. Justin loves California Screamin and Space Mountain. Thankfully they are big enough to go on CA Screamin on their own-the drops are way too big for me. Waiting in a 2 hour line was worth the picture we got of Elsa and Anna:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandersblog.org\/melissa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/nikki-elsa-and-anna_edited-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7588\" alt=\"nikki elsa and anna_edited-1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sandersblog.org\/melissa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/nikki-elsa-and-anna_edited-1-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the kids school they celebrated Dr. Suess&#8217;s birthday. The kids get to wear their jammies to school.

So funny when you ask him why he didn&#8217;t want to join, he says that he doesn&#8217;t want to wear a collared shirt. So far they have visited the fire station and attended a meeting. They have started working on their pinewood derby cars. So far I think it has been a really good experience, Justin always comes home from the events happy and exciting. He doesn&#8217;t have the patches on, etc but here is my little cub scout:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandersblog.org\/melissa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MAS_9456_edited-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7569\" alt=\"MAS_9456_edited-1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sandersblog.org\/melissa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MAS_9456_edited-1-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandersblog.org\/melissa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MAS_9456_edited-1-copy_edited-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7574\" alt=\"MAS_9456_edited-1-copy_edited-1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sandersblog.org\/melissa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MAS_9456_edited-1-copy_edited-1-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are working on a setting up a second girl scout troop for Nikki.
