It was time for another Pack Meeting. This months theme was Under the Big Top Variety Show. Circus stuff... we played a few circus games to get us started - Tightrope Walk, Hoopla, Pushing Peanuts, Through the Hoop, Feeding the Elephants, and so on. We rented a Cotton Candy Machine - the kids loved it but it made a mess - had to mop the floor after but it was worth it. Had popcorn, peanut m&m's and animal crackers.
Once the Snack Vendor had made her rounds we were ready for the show to begin. David (since he is the Cub Master) was the Ring Master. Each den was performing a circus skit and each boy had a run on to do and a talent to perform. Bryson and Dillon had so much fun. They love to act in skits - they have fun making up their own little skits together with their cousins. They performed a Flea Circus Skit, A Magic Skit and A Clown Skit. They had little silly run ons - Dillon's was - what kind of cat would you never play cards with? A Cheetah!! Ha, ha, ha. And Bryson's was - how do you stop a herd of charging elephants? Take their credit cards away. Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle. For Dillon's talent he performed a magic trick - making candy appear inside a box. Bryson played his festival piece on the piano, Accidental Wizard. Throughout the show the audience was involved too. The boys were to invite their grandparents so Grandma and Grandpa Gardner were there and since Grandpa and Grandma Cummings aren't here right now, Aunt Jo came. Thanks Jo for helping out and being their for the boys - they were excited that you could come and see them. Seriously though - I think the real circus was in the kitchen! Have you ever tried to contain 9 boys in a small area that have a sugar high from cotton candy and m&m's? Holy Cow - that is where the cub scouts were waiting to go on stage. They were so wound up but I think they all had a good time and I'm glad that they got up on stage and performed. Glad it's done though. :)
