One thing that has been really fun for me in the past month or so is being able to introduce Sam to Scouts. It's a great father/son activity and a great learning opportunity for Sam. Sam is at the entry level of scouts, which they call Tiger Cubs, which is great as Sam's most favorite animal of all time is the tiger.
While there has only been a few activities scheduled so far, we have been able to enjoy a bush walk, a day at Churchill Downs (home of the Kentucky Derby) where we did activities such as rock climbing, BB gun shooting and archery, plus smaller things such as a tour of the local library and collecting things outside and talking about them, we've really enjoyed what they've had on the program so far. This weekend we are going on a camp-out at Crooked Creek where we'll do things like kickball (which is just baseball but you kick a soccer ball instead of hit a baseball), tramping, shooting, archery, roasting marshmallows and all that good stuff. It might be a bit chilly overnight as the weather has turned quite cold here in the past week or so, but it looks like we'll have fine weather.
Scouts has been great for Sam. He's always looking for things to do outside, things to build/make and activities to do. When you live in a new city and on a small section in town it can be difficult to come up with lots of things for a kid like Sam to do. He's loving it, and it's giving him lots of opportunities to learn new things along the way.
