Scouts moving up

Raven is now a Junior Girl Scout & Luke is a Bear Cub Scout. They both moved up last week.

From bridging brownie to juniors

Land Run 2009

Everyone was anxious to get outside and for the Land Run to begin!

The Okie Oilers got a place right by the pond, just like they planned. Raven was the "head of household", so she had to go get their "deed" to the land. They had a barn/general store. Fenced in land area for their farm animals and a flower garden. They all took a minute to rest in their camp chairs before lunch. I think they all had a great time and the weather worked out for us beautifully!

Lawton Arts Festival

The kids area at the Lawton Arts Festival had fun things for them to do. There was this large mural that all kids were able to participate in painting. In the tent there were a number of stations for them to make different crafts. I think that the face painting was the favorite.

I love this one! 3 artists!

Hackberry Flat Day

Doc Howard helped Raven make her bird house. I think of the 3, her's may have been the sturdiest :)

Luke had a good time with the power tools and older boys helping him out.


All 3 houses turned out very nice and the kids were very happy with them.

In side the center the kids got to make wetland snack cups. It is such a cute idea. They use vanilla wafers, pudding, cool whip died blue, sprinkles, pretzals and gummy frogs to make it. And it's yummy too!
