They received a tour of the newsroom at KXLY and were able to watch a live broadcast of the 5:00 news. Everyone had a great time, meeting the anchors and seeing how the show is produced.
All of the boys were able to play with the green screen and practice their weather forecasts. We (the parents) were all a little nervous about letting eight 7 year old boys sit in and watch a live broadcast (YIKES, the possiblities of what could have gone wrong, those cameras are expensive) BUT... I am happy to report that everyone was awesome!! We could not have asked for any better. Huge sigh of relief when they went off air at 5:30.Thanks to Kris Krocker for being our tour guide and letting the boys get in some screen time during her weather segment. Watch their segment here.
After KXLY we were off to a Cub Scout pack meeting. the boys earned their bobcat badges and also moved up from tiger scouts to the Wolf level.
They received their new wolf bandanas too. I do have to admit, this cub scout stuff has been pretty fun. the field trips are great and most of the time it's a toss up on who is having the best time, parents or kids...
