Blogging, Knitting and the Police...

One thing I can't do... knit and blog at the same time.  It's either one or the other and these past two weeks I've working on a knitting project in my spare time.  I'll try to do a post about that soon.  Blogging also requires I pick up my camera and take pictures which I haven't done much of either.  

Thankfully, I did take a few last week.

The Cub Scout Tiger and Bear dens had a field trip to the Bellingham Police Department.  

The Officer was very tolerant of the boys checking out the gear on his belt.  We had to tell them numerous times, "Don't touch the gun!"

He also humored them when they wanted to look in the trunk.  I'm not sure what they boys thought they might find.  A body?

Sorry boys, just an empty trunk.

 These Scouts have all the fun.  When's the last time you sat in the drivers seat of a police car?

On our Thursday, family trip to Seattle I grabbed this photo from the car window as we made our way to the Pacific Science Center.

We had to make sure we saw the King Tut exhibit.  

I wasn't sure what to expect.  Most of the artifacts were small but impressive.

 Lots of gold and Egyptian statues.

A field trip is always more fun with friends and we saw a bunch of them.  

It was a beautiful day but, oh so chilly!

The boys create lots of different games.  After they watched Auction Kings they went and played auction with their toys and play money.  The 7 year old earns back his play money by setting up a hot wheels car wash in the bathroom sink. Hot wheels cars are everywhere in my house.  I cringe when another one finds it's way in.  I was happy the other day when one of them was turned into a project.

In progress...

He ended up putting 3 coats of red paint on and then a clear coat.  It turned out really cool.
