Blue & Gold

When I was primary president a couple years ago, it involved being over the Cub Scout program, but when I say "over" I mean I delegated everything "scouts" to my 2nd Counselor and just attended the pack meetings.  Not that I was a slacker or anything, my counselors just did a great job.  Well, to say the least, not being more involved is back firing on me now!  A couple months ago I was released from Young Women's and I am now the Cub committee chairman, aka the overseer of cub scouts.  To say the least I am learning, and already have learned so much.  I guess this is all preparing me for when Drake goes to scouts, right?!  

So I jumped right in and wouldn't you know it but the birthday of scouts is in February which is why you have the Blue and Gold dinner.  So we started planning and came up with a Circus theme and it turned out awesome.  We had such a fun time, so much work (especially since we don't have a committee yet) so again, so much work but it all turned out perfect.

Here are the invites I made on my Silhouette.

Macaroni Grill donated their butcher paper so the kids could draw on the tables and Texas Roadhouse donated peanuts that were on all of the tables.

Our Cub master got the crowd going with some cheers

We had the boys bring a decorated circus themed cake that we judged, and all of the cakes were awesome!

We had some circus entertainment,

and trivia questions to see which table got to eat first.

When dinner was devoured it was time for the carnival games!

A guessing jar...

Walk the tightrope while bouncing a balloon and another game was to hit the balloons with a nerf gun...

Feed the elephants with peanuts...

and we had the amazing Renae Kingsley doing face painting... 

And a photo booth stocked with props!

Such a fun night, glad it's over but it was great seeing everyone having a great time.  BIG thanks to Wendy Parker for helping me!!! and now onto the Pine wood Derby!
