Color Run 2015

Today was the Maverick Color Run which is a 3 mile loop starting from Kimbrough stadium.  The wrinkle is that at four "color stations" they splash the runners with color.  Also, every runner is given a color packet at registration so there was much to do before the start.

Here we are all fresh at the start (if not still clean).

Then we're a bit more colorful at the finish if a bit worn down with color in Allison's eye and Jason sneezing and wheezing with a bad back.

Allison and I recovered after a Sonic Slushy.

Got some photos of Jason and Allison's finishing kick!

Spring Cub Scout Camping 2015

The spring cub scout camping trip was to Camp Constantine in Possum Kingdom Mar 27-29.   While the camp was still winterized (no running water) and the pack started eating healthy (no donuts) and leaving no trace (clean your dishes each meal), I think this was one of Jason's favorite camps.

There was the usual fun of camping, archery, tree climbing, and hiking.

 

This time Jason got to do leather working and he very much enjoys the bracelet he created.   Thanks Nancy!   He also got his own carving knife and enjoyed an almost clean moment carving soap.

This year, the pack also set up bottle rocket action.  Thanks Darryl!

But I think the most fun he had was just hanging out with his friends playing tag, capture the flag, and the occasional race.

Golf Weekend

Inspired by Jordan Spieth's win at the Masters, we did a bit of golfing this weekend.  I took off Friday morning and played Pecan Hollow with David and Oma.

The next day I got Allison and Jason out to the range and 5 hole short course.  They both have aggressive swings, but Allison is more stylish sporting the sunglasses.

At first they had trouble connecting with the ball and hit the ground a lot. But they improved rapidly and played pretty well.  Here they are on the range, but both Jason and Allison hit at least one green on the short course.
