Tuesday was our Blue and Gold Banquet. Officially, it was Joe's last Blue and Gold, since he turned eleven last week. Unofficially, he still has a few more things to do before he gets his Webelo badge and graduates to the tan shirt and 11 year old scouting. This year was also Harry's first official Blue and Gold Banquet, as he turns eight in December. I'm trying to not even think about how many more of these I get to go to until Jack is done!
Harry also got to take part in the traditional "bad relay race" that happens at every pack meeting. Harry seems to approach life with a certain type of passion, and his approach to the relay race was no different. For some reason, he found it necessary to wear his safety goggles (from his air soft gun) during the relay. Joe IV just about had a come apart to see him wearing them (what is it about little brothers that just really get under your skin?) Harry's team claimed the victory in passing a string and then a bagel through all of their shirts...he seemed to really revel in his win....
And from this picture of Harry rubbing the win in Joe's face, maybe I CAN understand what it is about little brothers that gets under his skin.

i LOVE that Harry wears those glasses. He was always one of my favorites in the ward -- loved having him in my sunbeams class. :) I also love his outfit in the talent show. :)
Have you ever been a scout leader? With all those boys, I figure you either have or will be in the future.
Great pictures!
Can't wait to have Harry in our pack! Oh and I love the look he gives his brother after winning, priceless!
Great pictures. Fun for Joe to be moving on and fun for Harry to be starting.
We have a few more years until we enter that world...
