Well, since Oliver is officially 8 years old, he's now ready to begin the Cub Scouting program! He will start on the Wolf Trail and have a year to earn his patch! He's very excited to begin this new adventure.One of the electives in the book, is about fishing, which he LOVES to do, but doesn't get to go very often. My brother, Bryan, was visiting for the week from Chicago and so they planned an afternoon of fishing on Saturday. They were going to get up at 8 am and go, but it was raining out, Oliver had gotten up and was pretty bummed that they weren't going. Bry said that if it cleared up, they'd still go before he left to go back home to Chicago. It cleared up outside and Oliver looked out the window and yelled, "It cleared up! We can go! We can go!!". As you can tell, he was VERY excited to go with his Uncle Bryan! He picked him up at about 11 am and went to George Wyth State Park for a few hours. Oliver came home and told me that he caught eight bluegills! SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! A few days before, Bry had gone trout fishing and had some in the fridge, so that day mom fried it up and Oliver tried trout for the first time. My mom said that she didn't think he liked it as he only ate three little pieces! When he got home he informed me that it tasted like chicken! HA!
He LOVES spending time with his uncles! He told Grandma Palmer today that he loves his Uncle Bryan because he takes him fishing and he gets lucky because he actually catches some fish when he goes with him! He loves his Uncle Chad because he plays video games with him and he likes action figures! I think it brings both of them back to their childhoods and they love to share that with Oliver! HE LOVES IT!!! :O)
