Parker turned 11 in May. He finished Cub Scouts, earning all the ranks from Tiger to Arrow of Light. Brian and I were the Webelos leaders this year so Brian got to present him with his Arrow of Light award. It was a very neat pack meeting. The Arrow of Light is the only Cub Scout patch that moves to the Boy Scout Uniform. Parker is our facts and figures guy; about animals that is. He loves to watch discovery channel and animal planet. He loves books with animal information in them. When he has to do reading time at school or for homework, it is really hard to get him to read a "chapter book." Unless of course it's about some kind of animal. When we go to theme parks, Parker and I want to see all the shows. Everyone else could care less. Parker will be in the 6th grade this year.
