The Shuttle Bus

I've been to Parker twice today, and Elizabeth twice, racking up about 80 miles so far moving kids around and now Tia and I are looking to go out since the kids went to their Aunt's for the night.

This morning Kendall had a cheerleading camp for 3 hours. I ran her out to Elizabeth, happy to have her doing something active. She did this a few years ago when she was in the cheerleading program and enjoyed it, and she agreed to try it again. I'm glad, since she had  a good time and she'll get to cheer during halftime of the high school basketball game next week. However after dropping her off, I had to come home and get Delaney to his Scout event.

There's a teen court in Parker, where I guess they actually hear cases and resolve various disputes. Kids go through training and learn to be bailiffs, judges, and lawyers, working with kids that have really gotten into trouble with the law. Delaney said it sounded interesting, so I dropped him off, looking good in his freshly ironed, Class A uniform.

Then I shuttled to get Kendall home, and back to Parker for a few errands. I got the car cleaned and oil changed, and then went to watch the end of court. I just missed Delaney, but 3 parents told me he did a great job as a lawyer for one of the sides. It was the chance for them to experience it and work on their law merit badge. He said he liked it and maybe it's something he'll want to do later. Once he's 14, he can go through the training and actually be in the court.

A long day of driving, but good to get the kids out and about after sitting around the house a lot the last few weeks.
