This week started off with wild Las Vegas weather. We got rain almost all week with snow all the way to 4000 feet. Luckily Brenton hiked Red Rock with the Webelos the week earlier or they could have been snowed on.
Due to the weather Amberley was able to enjoy a week without Soccer practice. But the family braved the weather on MLK Day to watch Jackson march in the Parade on 4th street. Luckily the weather kept a damper on the craziness that happened last year at the parade (kid pulled a gun and shot the 17th floor wall of the B of A building). This year nothing eventful happened. Amberley mentioned that it was "Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Barack Obama Day." Not sure that is a good thing for the kid's to see it as, but interesting none-the-less. It will be intriguing to see how history shapes the Presidency of the first Black President.
The rest of the week was about the same for everyone with practices and dance. Brenton earned some more Merit Badges at Pack Meeting on Thursday and then there was Enrichment which was fun. We went to the batting cages on Friday night because Brenton had baseball tryouts on Saturday for the new league we joined, Mountain Ridge Little League. It was awesome to go and hit. Brenton got on track with his hitting. Jackson and Amberley were knocking a lot of balls as well; at 45 mph it was impressive.
Saturday "the curse" happened again. The curse is that not all of us will win our Basketball games only 2 of us will and the other one will lose. After Jackson's team (Lakers 4-1) came back in dramatic fashion in the 4th period we saw Amberley's team (Shock 4-1) play bad, but end up with a win. Then came Brenton/Mike's team's game (Gator's) against the undefeated "non-drafted" team. With a 9 point lead we ended up blowing it in the end to lose the game and drop to 3-2.
Check out the band! Cute huh?
