Get on my horse and ride away (galloping motion).

Oh we won't see snow or ice while we're there, Brrrr, Brrrr
Oh we won't see snow or ice, Oh we won't see snow or ice

Cactus Tasting

Circle Ten Council

In the specialty section of your grocery store they should have cactus jelly and may have other items made with cactus. Buy as many different kinds as you can and let your Tigers taste what cactus tastes like.  

Egg Fry

Circle Ten Council

If you live somewhere that gets particularly hot. Take an egg outside and show your Tigers how that you can fry an egg on asphalt.  (Commissioner Dave – This really works and does amaze the boys but remember, try it first yourself before doing it with the Den)
