Blue and Gold Banquet
Tonight was the Blue and Gold Banquet for our Cub Scout Pack. We had a nice dinner, handed out lots of awards to the boys (Joseph got his Bear award, yeah!), and were treated to US Marines preforming the flag ceremony. It was very impressive. There is something extra special about having an armed color guard.

Trip to Bali
For spring break this year, we decided to go to Bali. Julia’s friend, Faith, joined us as well. We went snorkeling, hung out at the beach, ate a nice seafood dinner at Jimbaron beach, and rode elephants at Taman Safari. As always, Bali is a great place to hang out!
Gong
A couple weeks ago, we got a gong. Julia has been wanting one for a while and so during her recent visit to the gong factory, she ordered one. It is hand made out of brass with a teak frame. The workers pour the molten metal into a mold in the ground and then after it hardened, several men worked the metal into shape. It has a deep ring due to its thick shape and the kids don’t seem to get tired of ringing it at meals!
Scout hike
The Bear Den went on a hike today up in the mountainous area near Bogor. We hike for about 5 miles up and down and through the mud. The boys did great, and I am sure we’ll all sleep well tonight.
Scout campout
The cub scouts had a campout last weekend up in the mountainous area near Bandung. We just stayed for the day, but Joseph had a great time shooting archery, slingshots, orienteering, knot tying, and more.
