I know its been more than 2 months now since Zach was awarded his Eagle but I can't let the occasion pass without a major post to the blog. Grandma and Grandpa made another trip down to attend. We were all so glad to have them there. The Court of Honor was a great success but not without its obstacles...one of them being that we almost had to have it WITHOUT an American flag! That borders on sacrilege. Fortunately Jeff has the connections and we were able to round one up. We had one of Zach's former scout leaders, Mike Ashmore who came up from San Antonio speak, and a letter was read from Sam Roundy, another former leader. (Incidentally, Sam was also my former piano teacher.) Then Jared, our first Eagle Scout in the family, did the Eagle Charge having Zach and all the Eagle scouts present stand and recite, and then presented Zach with his award. He did a great job.
We then served cake (sooooo delicious thanks to Tricia Campbell www.icravecake.blogspot.com) mingled with friends and family, took a lot of pictures and then...it was time to go home. It was a great evening--hopefully one Zach will always remember. Many thanks to all who contributed to Zach's scouting success. I think he would agree that he couldn't have done it alone. There are more people than I can count that deserve thanks.
Pictures of the evening are below as well as the slide show I put together that was presented as part of the program. Please refer to the post from last year with pictures of Zach's Eagle Project:
