Here's my youngest son (in the yellow jacket, sitting under the fort). He's busy whittling a stick using his new Cub Scout pocket knife. Speaking of Cub Scouts: I was SO proud of him last night. We had a Pack Meeting and toward the end of snack time, one of the boys thought he'd play a little joke and knock off the Scout cap one of the other boys was wearing. Well...in doing so he caused the boy to spill his drink all over the floor and all over his shirt. Here's the cool part: My son ran to the back of the room to grab a roll of paper towel, brought it over and started mopping up the floor! I was (am) a very proud father! He had nothing to do with the incident but wanted to help. On the way home I told him how proud I was of him, to which he replied, "Well, Dad, that's what Cub Scouts do." You bet it is! Love ya buddy!

That's a really cute story about the paper towels.
I remember my first pocket knife. That can be dangerous. Not because they can be sharp. They can lead to power tools and extreme furniture building. Pocket knives are the crack of tools. lol I started with a little red Cub Scout pocket knife, and I was building soap box derby cars, and then furniture before I knew it!
Wow! What a FABULOUS play place! And your GRASS!!! It's so GREEN!
I'm thinking 'somebody' has had a good example set for him! Good job, Dad!
Your son sounds like one great kid. Thanks for sharing your photos. The weather here in NJ has been pretty nice too!

We've had great weather in upstate NY as well. It will make the winter that much more a kick in the head.
Great kid you've got there. He must have a great role model - Dad!
