Do Your Best - HAPPY Wednesday

The family took a field trip to the National Scouting Museum... we're fortunate to have this museum close by... 

We committed to Cub Scouts over a year and a half ago and it's truly been a great experience for our family.  We're in a wonderful pack... and our kids enjoy the program.  Yes... even little sister E... more on that in a minute. 

The museum is packed with historical collections, art and activities.  You truly get a picture of the history of the organization and the impact it has made on our country... on our men and women. 

Original Norman Rockwell paintings that will truly take your breath away... catch a glimpse into history from the eyes of one of the most talented artists in the world... I loved this one... generations of Scouting men and women...

And this painting below "Family Camping" by Joseph Csatari truly touched me because it reminded me of our family... NOT because we look THAT happy when we go camping -- because trust me we are such novice when it comes to camping... we do not even know yet WHAT we are doing and I want to be THAT happy when we go camping...  *sigh* I don't know if we'll ever get there but we will give it a try...

BUT I adore the Cub Scout...  the Boy Scout and the little sister with her doll and seeing the chipmunk...  Scouting is truly for the whole family... learning together, leaning on one another, loving each other.
