He is such a busy kid, and just enjoys DOING! He just finished basketball season a few weeks ago (and baseball is right around the corner!) He absolutely LOVES basketball - it is his favorite sport (I think ... but, maybe it's just whatever sport he's playing) :) - and played so well this year averaging 8-10 points per game. He calls himself the "Layup King" -- not too cocky at all, eh? haha. He really upped his aggression this year, which really (unfortunately) is a must in the sports.
... here's one of his famous lay-ups. Yeah. He rocks - he knows it! :D!
His coach usually kept him in the entire game this year, and Aaron wasn't complainin' - but, he sure got wore out (and flushed cheeks)!
We were able to participate in yet another amazing pack meeting (with a Wild Wild West theme this year)! It was absolutely adorable and yummy food! As a Wolf Den leader myself - I was quite proud of the center pieces our Den put together ... rattlesnakes and cacti in a burlap cutified box. Pretty darn tootin', don'tcha agree? ;)
Aaron doesn't miss a beat in Cub Scouts and has earned his Bear Badge, another gold arrow, and an additional 6 silver arrows this year! Woah, kiddo! (I'm a little in shock that he has reached the double digits ... the big one oh ... and is now a Webelo)!
And, true to his busy lifestyle - Aaron had to participate in the science fair - because, he signed an agreement with many other 4th graders to take part in an "honor program" by finishing a list of extra activities (including the science fair). So, he buddied up with Ellie and Sam to do the "Big Blow-Up" (blowing up a balloon with an acid/base reaction). They had an absolute blast!
Here they are getting ready to experiment:
1st up: Baking soda and Soda pop -
Hmmmmm ... fairly exciting:
Next up: Baking soda and Lemon juice -
Cooooooool! Much better reaction!
Quite the significant difference, don'tcha think? (drama takes over when a camera is involved ...) :)
And finally: Baking soda and Vineger -
S'ewwwwww'per smelly!
Woah!
Sambo showed up as soon as Aaron and Ellie finished ...
... so, they did one final blow up ... with MORE baking soda and MORE vinegar!
That balloon filled quick! They had to hold on tight!
Sweetness ...
And they did an awesome job on their poster as well!
Gotta love my busy boy - he does NOT miss a thing!
