We are proud of him, of course. And we are so happy to have all those eagle requirements behind us because it's one less thing to nag him about. He finished his project back in August and has been dragging his feet for quite awhile to get the last little details done. But he's done! He even earned THREE bronze palms. You get those for doing extra merit badges so for Marcus to earn three of them means he's got like a million merit badges. Marcus gave a short little speech at his court of honor {and by the way he did such a good job speaking on the spot} and said how he was so happy to be done with scouts but looking back on all the fun things he did made him realize how many cool things he's done because of scouting. And he's right! Hiking along the Pacific Rim Trail, taking ferry boats to islands where he hiked and biked, building snow caves at Mt. Rainier, etc. Here's a few pictures of one of the greatest nights of Randy's life :)

I actually missed half the program because I was out in the hall with Henry. He was in rare form. Too many strangers around him I guess. Luckily a friend took all the pictures for me.....sometimes kids are the worst!
