Collin's 9th Birthday

Before officially turning 9, Collin received his Wolf Award in Cub Scouts. He was excited to finally recieve his award after such a fun year in Cub Scouts. Some of his favorite achievements and activities included building a birdhouse, starting a rock collection, going fishing, earning various belt loops, and just being with his friends. As the den mother, I am sad that he won't be in our group anymore. He is excited to be in the Bear den now.

Collin helped plan his own birthday party this year. He is very into Pokemon and wanted to play games that had a Pokemon theme. Collin came up with a poster for pin the tail on Blastoise and for a "Dug Trio" ball toss. He and Megan did the coloring, after I did my best at sketching the characters. I also did a Star Raptor on his cake. (notice the picture on his invitation). His friends enjoyed playing a "who knows the most about pokemon" game and making gadgets from ordinary junk (these are things that pokemon trainers use to catch a pokemon). Some of the boys played the Pokemon Card game. They also played a Pokemon Nintendo game and watched a movie. What a fun party. It is amazing what the boys memorize about all the hundreds of Pokemon there are.
