LIVE 07
This was Ian's "Scouting Day". Today was the Live 07 Scouting show at the O2 Dome to celebrate the Centenary of Scouting. This was the culmination of the 100th anniversary of Lord Baden Powell's founding of the Scouting movement here in England. Groups from all over England were asked to participate and they put together a three hour extravaganza. We arrived at the Dome around 10:00 after a ride on the Thames River Cruiser. Of course we had to purchase the Scouting patches having to do with this event. Then we went into the show. I have never seen so many Scouts in the same place (around 20,000 at this show).
Following the show, we rode the Cruiser back to Waterloo Pier and took the Northern Underground back to Tottenham Court Road. As we came out of the station, we bought traditional fish and chips and headed back to the flat. I desperately needed to get some work done. It was a good day!!!!!

that is fun thing. R was in a big girl scouts pageant thing for some big birthday when she was in the second grade. the big thing then was that the governor's daughter was also in the pageant. does Ian's mother actually sew all those patches on? I believe that I resorted to stapling them on.
Actually, they make this wonderful glue stuff now. It's wonderful!!!
That's really neat that Ian was able to be in the scout thing in England! He'll remember that forever!
