Mazel Tov!

Our friend and neighbor, Melissa had her Bat Mitzvah today.

These are the true matching dresses that were purchased after High Tea last month.  

The handsome neighborhood boys.

All the neighborhood kids (sans Melissa!).

Party time!

Melissa honored the neighborhood kids (and the adults, as well) at the reception.  So sweet!

Photo booth fun.  :-)

Last Girl Scout Meeting of the Year

Cub Scout Crossover

Pack 96 had their crossover ceremony this evening.  Aiden crossed over from Webelos to Arrow of Light.  Next year will be his last year as a Cub Scout.  From there he'll need to decide whether he wants to continue on with Boy Scouts.

Whittling (which he's permitted to do now that he has his "whittling chip") after the ceremony.

Wonders Never Cease

Aiden BEGGED me to take him to the pool today.  Once we arrived, he quickly realized that none of his buddies were there and I thought for sure he'd be begging to go home immediately.  But lo and behold, he found companionship in a GIRL that he knows from school and swim team.  If you look closely, you can see that he's even SMILING!!  Hey, what do you know?  Girls aren't so bad after all, are they?  LOL!

Southwick Zoo - 4th Grade Field Trip

I had the pleasure of accompanying the 4th graders on their field trip to Southwick Zoo today.  All in all, it was one of the better field trips that I've been on.  The weather was unseasonably cool, which was perfect for walking around and seeing the animals.  

Mrs. Boyle's class.

Great Wolf Lodge

Bree's girl scout troop did a day trip to Great Wolf Lodge today, as a reward for their excellent cookie sales this year.
