As we got into Spring and the start of summer, with COVID becoming a little more manageable, we started doing more activities. The ballet school and company had a performance of Alice in Wonderland. Anna and Kate were in both shows. In the second show, Kate had to fill in as one of the flamingos during the croquet scene; she learned the entire routine in one day and gave a great performance. After his successful Eagle Scout board of review in February, he participated in his Eagle Scout Court of Honor to receive his pin and neckerchief. He also added his name to the troop's ever-growing plaque of members who have become Eagle Scouts. In mid-June, Kate left for Waldsee, the German language immersion camp for a second summer. Jack, Anna, Mom and Dad all headed up to Chicago in late June. From there, Jack, along with a crew of boys and adults from his scout troop, boarded a train to head to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. This was Jack's second Philmont trek. Anna and Mom boarded an airplane the for a flight to Paris for a few weeks in France. Dad stayed in Chicago for a conference, then headed home to "hold down the fort".
