I know it is such a cliché to talk about the weather but I can’t quite believe that last month I shared photos from a gloriously warm sunny day at the beach, but we’ve been back in winter coats again this past week.
Rhys went on a class trip to Big Pit this week and arrived back about 20 minutes after the end of the school day. And we were all shivering in the playground waiting for the bus to arrive, wondering when the weather would wise up and realise that it’s June not February.
We did have a spell of sunshine at the start of the week though, and I took the camera along when I picked up the children from school. We quite often play in the woods before heading home and I took the chance to take a few photos of them together.
We did have one big day towards the end of this week, when Rhys was invested into his cub pack.
He’s been going for about 6 weeks now and was incredibly happy after being officially welcomed into the group. He’s got his uniform now, along with 5 special badges to be sewn on at some point. I’m so proud of him for deciding to stick with it after a bit of a shaky start when he wasn’t sure if he liked it or not.
Now he seems really keen to get involved and can’t wait to get his first activity badges.
What was particularly sweet was seeing how happy Nerys was for Rhys.
She knew how important it was for him to be invested and got to be there with me to watch which was lovely. She’s been going to Rainbows for a little longer than Rhys has been at cubs and actually is making her promise next week which she is so excited about.
I do hope they keep on enjoying going and get to experience all sorts of new things through Cubs and Rainbows. I went to Brownies when I was little and, from what I remember, I used to enjoy it! This was back in the days of the lovely brown dresses, and brown woolly hats if I remember correctly! I am quite pleased that they’ve modernised the uniforms since then, they look much more comfortable now.
Did you go to this sort of thing when you were younger, and do your children go now?
