Our last official monthly meeting took place the week before Mother's Day at the home of hosts - The Fox's - Papa, Sly, Cunning and Red. We had great weather and everyone was in a cheerful mood. This meeting also provided the last "official" chance for braves to earn first year feathers. A few of the braves were able to recite each of the tribe members names, and we continued to practice reciting our YGuides Aims. They seems to be second nature now, after working so hard throughout the year to learn them.
Our craft project was right in line with the them of the month - Mother's Day. Waiting for us was a large tub of soil, pre-labeled clay pots for each of the braves, and an assortment of colorful flowers to plant. All we had to do now was get the braves off of the playground and treehouse equipment that seems to comes standard in the yards of most 6 - 8 year-olds, and put them to work - in the dirt! Nobody should mistake the speed at which young boys are able to plant flowers, with the actual love that went into the task. If you blinked, you might have missed the task itself. Never fear though - Papa Fox was quick to the task of making certain that the newly planted flowers had lots of water, before sending us on our way.
And while I am certain that all the braves went home and proudly presented their newest creation to their mom's, I happened to have the camera with me to capture the special moment.
Happy Mothers Day! Thanks for providing us with these special little "creations" to help us make lasting memories!
Just two more weeks until Camp Rockmount!
