Big T started school today, grade number two. He did great, no tears, no crazy nervous behavior. All went well. It was great. We also went to the Ports game for Scout night this past Friday and it was also great. Great being the word that I shall continue to use to describe how things were. Great.

| Our tent in the outfield. Big T picked the spot so he could watch the movie that was shown on the big screen while lying in his sleeping bag in the tent. It was a pretty great spot. |

| The shantytown the morning after. You'll notice some of the scouts just laid their bags on a tarp and slept under the stars. It was a beautiful night and didn't get too cold, which was great, so it probably wouldn't have been that bad without the tent. |
It was a great night and the Ports destroyed the Jethawks 13-1. Unfortunately the high score and post-game fireworks meant that I didn't get the tent set up and Big T in there until almost midnight. So I didn't fall asleep until around 1am, then woke up at 6 and started driving home at 7. I've been tired since then. While we were at the game we took a little stroll around the park and Big T wanted to hit in the cages they have there. So while we were waiting in line, a foul ball landed almost exactly where our seats were. Big T's den leader, who was sitting in the row in front of us, was able to get his hand on it, but couldn't haul it in.
So all in all, if you ever get a chance to sleep out on a ball field, I'd highly recommend it. It's a great time.
