Mimz and Aunt Kathy planned a fun morning and afternoon for four of my cousins (Hudson, Harper, Beckett, Laundry), and me at the Main Attraction.
We left Mimz' home around 9am and returned around 2pm.   We bowled and played laser tag.  I think I bowled a 62.  A helpful thing I did was help Landry pull of the stand she uses to help her roll the ball.  (I earned a sticker for that act of kindness.)  I ate an entire small pizza all by myself.

Mimz and Aunt Kathy helped us get on our laser tag vests and then they watched from another room.  Somehow the vests and lasers can keep track of how many times we are hit and how many hits we make.

At the end we totaled our points and got to pick out some trinkets bases on our total points.

Barbara came over to Mimz' home around 2:30 to take me to Boy Scout camp.   Four den leaders were the color guard today.  They marched in step together and make it look impressive.
I found out big Mason is 16 years old and he became an Eagle Scout when he was 14.  He calls me Mini Me.  He wants to become an engineer and then a lawyer.  He let me tag along while he did a couple of his duties as a staff member of the camp.

There are only four Tigers and two of them were absent today.  Only Jesus and I were there.  Our first activity was sports.  I played soccer with some older boys, probably 8 and 9 years old.  I stayed right in the middle of the game and really had fun.  Next we had our lesson.  We learned about  communicating with people who are deaf, using sign language.  I can sign my name: M A S O N.

Then we learned about Braille, a method that blind people use to read.  I figured out how to spell my name in Braille.  I had a real hard time staying focused.  I was so much more interested in the kids that were running around.

I earned a second sticker.  I had been playing on the playground and I ran up to my leader, who was talking to another adult.  I waited until she was finished talking to ask her my question.  Later Barbara told me she would give me a sticker for that courteous action.  Part of the Boy Scout Law is that we are courteous.
I was on the playground, when Barbara noticed I was up very high.  She told me that was too high but wait for her to take a picture before I got down.  Can you find me in the above picture?

It has been hot every day this week, but today was the hottest.  We have water breaks every ten or fifteen minutes.  I took a "camel" backpack that had a water bag in it that I could wear on my back and then I could drink from the hose.   I didn't wear it most of the time.  It was too heavy to run and play in and it was hot when we were sitting down.  My icy water bottles were colder.

Jesus and his mom had to leave early so Barbara and I left at the same time around 4:45pm.  We met Mommy in another church parking lot and I changed into my baseball practice clothes.  And I ate my dinner while driving to practice.   This practice was a last minute decision.  I did great at practice.  I have better baseball skills than most of the boys.  That builds up my confidence.

Mommy and I are going to dog sit for four days for Tammy starting June 22nd.  We went over to her house to learn what we need to do.

I played for a few minutes with Anthony and Alyssa before we decided to see if we could have a sleepover.  The answer was yes, if we would agree to go to bed at 10pm.  We agreed.  We played in my room as quietly as three children can.  We laid down on the sofas in Mommy's room at 10:15.  Then we decided we had to have a snack.  Barbara got those for us and then we really did try to go to sleep.  A and A were asleep by 10:45.  I was asleep by 11pm.
