5th grade picnic & sailboating

Yesterday Ryan had his 5th grade picnic at school. The kids got brats and hotdogs and even SODA! They had a beautiful day and were able to eat outside. Then they watched the 5th grade video - it was fun to see all the photos from the years, plus each kid had brought in 3 photos from when they were a baby and little. Their reactions to everyones baby pictures were great.

Here is Ryan eating lunch with his friends.

After lunch and the movie they did different activities outside - relay races, sudoku, long jump, etc. Then the different classes challenged each other to tug of war. Ryan's class got second. The best part was when the boys challenged the girls - they got their butts kicked! It was not even a contest.

After all that they received bags and a copy of the DVD that was shown. It was a fun day for the kids.

Last night Ryan went down to the Scout Sea Base to work on earning his small boat sailing merit badge. They were supposed to be in a classroom, but the guy who was in charge said it was too nice out and did not want to waste a beautiful evening inside so out on the boats they went. Ryan was excited about that and even was able to drive it. He has two more classes to go to to earn his badge.
