Fishing At Oscar's Farm, June 20, 2009

I got up around 7:00 AM. I got in my scout Class B uniform. Here are the names of the people who came: Youths: Thomas Pittman, me-Nathan, Michael, Danny, Thomas Fleury, Devon, Josh Cady and Mr. Terry's niece: Adults: Mr. Terry Skipper, Mr. Randall Jr., and my dad, Keith. That should be 10 people who came. When we got to the lake, there was an alligator, but I didn't see it. My Dad took a picture of him though, and he was pretty close. Mr. Terry caught 2 big fish that day and my dad got 2 pictures of them, and Thomas caught a fish too. My fishing rod was called The Ugly Stick. It was brand new and stronger than the cane poles I used to fish with. At 12:00 PM, we had 2 PB and J sandwiches and some Cheetos. I had some cinnamon apple sauce, but not all of it ( PB and J stood for peanut butter and jelly). Later that day, my dad caught a small fish, not a keeper, he took a picture of me holding it and named it Nathan Not Impressed With Dad's Catch. Or something like that. I caught a bite, too, but it swam away. I learned right away how to cast a rod. We started from 9 or 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. It felt sort of like 100 degrees out and we were sweating. In the CRV, Devon rode in the back with me and Josh Cady rode in the front with my dad. As we stopped by the gas station, we got drinks I got Tummy Yummies and they got candy bar snacks. When we went back to the church, we pack and unpacked our stuff, then we left and went back home.

Billy's Eagle Scout Project June 6, 2009

Last Saturday, we went to help Billy with his project. We knocked down the bricks and carried them. We also picked up some trash to clear it up. We had to throw some broken up bricks to the truck, and carry some of the non-broken ones to the perfect brick pile. We couldn't put the red bricks in the recycling pile. Then after that cleaning up, a leaf blower came. Then, Ms. Suzanne took a picture of the group workers with my dad's camera. Then, she bought the pizza for lunch. Then, we had cheese pizza and some sodas. After that, at 11:30 or around 12, we left and went home.

Here is a complete list of names. I have divided them up as Adults and youth. Adults: Jim Randall, Suzanne Randall, James Randall, Wesley Randall, Jennifer Smith, Belinda Powers, Keith Miller, Joe Kerns, Tim Spivey, Myron Johnson Youth: Billy Randall (Scout), Amy Powers, Cody Powers, Cody Scoggins (Scout T-759), Michael Lemelin (Scout T-750), Thomas Fleury (Scout T-700), Nathan Miller (Scout T-750), Thomas Pittman (Scout T-750), Danny Pittman (Scout T-750), Eric Kennedy, Josh Cady (Scout T-750). That should be 20 people that came out to work on Billy's Project.

Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser

On May 30, 2009 , last Saturday, our troop had a pancake breakfast fundraiser at Applebees. I woke up at 6:30AM. I took a shower and then, I got dressed up in full uniform, my Troop 750 red shirt, scout pants, and my merit badge sash. I have 2 MBs, Radio and Collections. We had to meet at Applebee's at 7:30 AM. My dad took some pictures. At 8:00 AM, the pancake breakfast started. Me, my dad, Thomas, Danny, Billy, Devon, Aaron, Josh Cady, Mr. Randall, Ms. Randall, Ms. Pittman, Michael, and Brandon came. The boy scouts and I were waiters. We even had pancakes for breakfast. My dad left at 8:30 AM, because he had to go to work. By 9:30 AM, my sister, Kristin, Lexie or real name Alexis, and Jennie showed up. I had to get some water for my breakfast. They had water, diet coke, coffee, cherry coke, and more. For pancakes or 3 little, mini pancakes, they had butter and syrup. My Mom stayed the whole time, and I was her waiter. As they started cleaning up at 10:00 AM, we cleared up the tables, I sold 13 tickets in all. After all that, we went home.
