Little Red Wagon

This past week, being a good but procrastinating Dad, I finally assembled the wagon that Olivia got last year for Christmas…or was it her birthday?!  In any case, it's together and a big hit with her.  The lengthy delay wasn't entire her fathers fault.  Mom pondered for a longtime whether we should return it for credit and upgrade to a wood panel style.  In the end, it just wouldn't be money well spent.  Thus the time finally arrived to stop putting it off and get some use out of it.  One has to wonder why I hadn't done this sooner as it took less than a half an hour to assemble it!  In any case, here it is, a Radio Flyer #89 Promotional Wagon.

Junior Birdmen

This one has been sitting on the back burner since Christmas!  Over the holidays while hanging out with my family we were discussing our trip to Hawaii this coming summer.  Being a long journey I suggested we could sing scout camp songs.  At which point I began to sing "Junior Birdmen".  Unfortunately I couldn't remember all of the works and none of my siblings seemed to have any knowledge of this gem.  Well, now they can all learn it along with me and our travels will be that much more enjoyable!

Junior Birdmen

(Tune: On Brave Old Army Team)

Up in the air, Junior Birdmen; up in the air, upside down,
Up in the air, Junior Birdmen; with your noses to the ground.

And when you hear the grand announcement: that your wings are made of tin.
Well, then you know, Junior Birdmen, it's time to send your box tops in.

For it takes: 5 box tops, 4 bottle bottoms, 3 coupons, 2 wrappers, and one thin dime!

Actions: Make a face mask each time you sing the words, "Junior Birdmen" by lacing your fingers. Then, with thumbs under the chin, twist your hands outwards so that you make goggles for the eyes. On "Upside down," perform a jet plane swoop outstretched arms. On "Ground," bring the swooping arms as near to the ground as possible.
