Scout BSA
What kind of activities do they do at that age? Go trekking? Camping?

He sure sounds like he is into so many extra activities, I don't see how he can get everything done.
But good for him that he has a full life.

Curtis plays soccer for the Youth Association in the fall, and plays on the school team in second semester.
Curtis is also a.. Scout BSA now. He's hoping to achieve his Star rank before summer starts.
He's also taking speech/drama like many of his brothers did.
Curtis has a good group of friends. For one thing, Ryder, Ollie, and Paden are all about the same age as him, so his best friends are family.

I did not find the main character, a boy who is also a criminal mastermind in a fantasy world with fairies, likable or interesting, and the same could be said of the plot. I like YA fantasy, but this was not my thing.

I remember trying Artemis Fowl, but I never got into it. I don't recall disliking it, it just didn't catch my interest enough, and I never went back to it. I think it came out in the early 2000s, and I know a lot of the boys read it - I think everyone from Tommy to Bryce were big into it at one time or another.
I have seen previews of the movie, it looks like it could be interesting, and I'm sure we'll go see it.

We're all going to see The Kid Who Would be King.
Triple Chocolate. A boy after my own heart. I'll sit here and drool. I can't eat chocolate anymore. Caffeine. They haven't made caffeine free chocolate yet.
My sister is taking her grandson to see "The Kid Who Would Be King" this weekend. I'll see it when it comes to DVD.

« on: January 23, 2019, 04:29:30 pm »Just wanted to mention that Curtis is now 8, and he's very excited.
We did have his birthday dinner last night, with grilled polish sausage, fried potatoes, slow cooked green beans, grilled vegetable medley, and biscuits, then a chocolate/chocolate fudge cake (and he had chocolate ice cream with it). Liam got to give his birthday spanks.
We're saving the actual party for this weekend. Colt's birthday is next week, and we're going to Grapevine Mills for double parties, with everyone eating at the Rainforest Cafe. We're all going to see The Kid Who Would be King, then Curtis wants to Build-A-Bear and do the Lego Discovery Zone. He's taking the grands and a few of his best friends with us (David Franklin, Bo and Royce Tidwell, Kieth and Cody King, Ed Rawlings, and Sean and Colin McCleod), so it won't be a huge crowd (compared to some I have), but it will still keep us chaperones busy.
