Cub Scouts

I was a Tiger and then I was a Wolf but since last night I am a Bear. A Bear is the last rank before Webelos in Cub Scouts.

Last night my dad took me to the Campfire Move-Up ceremony. At the campfire I had S'mores -- S'mores are roasted marshmallows with chocolate and two graham crackers. They look like a sandwich but not exactly -- and I got my new rank. I had to do work to get my new rank. I worked selling popcorn, I made a car for the Pinewood Derby and I made a rocket. I also had to learn about birds.

I like Cub Scouts because I get to do activities and I have made lots of friends. If your son is interested in this, call me and I will try to get him in a pack.

Penguin Ice Cream

One of my favorite places in town is Penguin Ice Cream. It is owned by Mr. Och and his wife. Mrs. Och teaches third grade at my school and they go to my church. I go to Penguin because they have the ice cream that I like to eat. They serve me the ice cream in a cone and they give me a Swedish Fish on the top. Mr. Och told me that the Governor of NJ has been there twice. A professional football player on the NY Jets and a professional NBA player have been there too. You should go to Penguin because it is great and they give you a choice of staying there to eat or you can take the ice cream to go.

Baseball

I am on a baseball team. My team's name is the Bees and my dad is a coach. The nice thing is that one of my friends is on the team. We play two times a week but sometimes there is a rainout. On Saturday, we were playing "outs." That means that if the batter's ball gets caught or he gets tagged, he is out and he can not play any more. My favorite position to play is catcher because you get to be behind the batter. Our next game is this Thursday.
