Tiger Hike

Justin and Danny on a hike with his Scout Troop.  They went to Tilden Nature Area.  They hiked for 3 hours, had a picnic, and then they rode a steam train twice.

Halloween 2011

 

This year Danny wanted to be Super Mario Brothers' Luigi.  I thought it would be fun to all get dressed up and go in a theme so I bought a Mario costume for Justin but it was made for someone who was 5'9". We couldn't even get it up over his shoulders.  I went as a Gumba, the bad guy who tries to get Luigi.

MY DEAR SWEET VADAKKAN FAMILY IN KUWAIT

My dear friends Joy, Simi, Jenny, Catherine & baby Angela 

We miss you so much and look forward to the day when we will be together again.

We love you!

JOG-A-THON

 Today Danny participated in the school Jog-A-Thon.  Grandma Rydin bought him the Luigi hat so he could run faster like Luigi (Super Mario Brothers).  Danny ran 16 laps which is 3/4 a mile. 

TIGER CUBS

Danny joined Tiger Cubs.  I know as I type this Russ & Alex are rolling their eyes but he went to his first meeting last week and had a great time.  He learned a magic trick where he put a pin in a balloon and it didn't pop.  The other magic trick he learned was that if I blow up a balloon and don't tie it and he lets it go that it will fly around the room.  He is so cute! 

Danny's Tiger Cub uniform came today in the mail and he was so excited and wanted to put it on right away.  Today I bought his Luigi Halloween costume and he didn't really care about it, just the Cub uniform.  Justin went through his old Scout box and found his old brag vest and other Cub Scout goodies but the best part was that Justin was in Den 6 and Danny is too so I am going to sew Justin's patch on Danny's uniform.  He was really excited about that.  They looked at Justin's stuff for about a half hour and decided that the books haven't changed that much.  Thinking about it, that's almost 30 years ago.  Boy are we getting old!

I'M BATMAN

  Danny likes watching the T.V. show Batman (old school with Adam West).  His favorite word is "SOCK".  Every day he and I watch an episode before going to school. 

We got this costume for $5.00 off Craigs List. The utility belt talks, makes noises, and lights up.

THE MONKEY BARS

WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU DANNY!!!

Danny crossed the Monkey Bars for the first time all by himself on August 25th.  He crossed it three times that day.  On August 31st he also crossed the HARD bars that didn't move three times.  He couldn't practice yesterday because with all of his practicing, he got blisters on his hands and one popped. 

WAY TO GO DANNY!!!
