The Blue and Gold Dinner

Tonight was the annual Blue and Gold Dinner, which is the big banquet of the year for Cub Scouts. Banquet might be a stretch. Chaotic night of 6 to 10 year olds running around a church dining room might be a better description.

Some of the highlights:

Suzy won the prize for best dish, her award winning chili comes through again. If you haven't tried it yet, bug Suzy until you do.

My boys (is it ok that I claim ownership of them?) did great in the trivia contest. The theme of the night was something like A to Z USA, and the trivia questions covered the topic of Americana. Some of our questions were:

'What is the capitol of Washington?'
or
'What is the state reptile of Arizona?'

I was particularly proud of one little fellow. I might have done some coaching last night at our den meeting, but when the pressure mounted tonight he came through big time,

'What is the state insect of California?'
'Dogface Butterfly!'

I might have raised my arms in celebration, but don't tell anyone.

Daniel and Sammy behaved well, so I was happy. They got to bed about an hour later than normal, so tomorrow will be an interesting day. Good luck Ms. Foust, good luck Mrs. Denney.
