A grandpa, a boy, and the American Legions' Boys State...

In June, Hunter had the opportunity to attend Boys State. Zac got to attend Boys State two years ago. We have a wonderful administrator at our High School whose late husband was a veteran and she's an enthusiastic proponent of Boys State. We've been grateful for the opportunity our twigs have had to attend and hope our girlie gets to attend Girls State when she's old enough.

Hunter had a great time getting to know amazing boys from all over the state and learning about the process of government.

A huge "thank you" to all the American Legion Veterans who gave their time and devotion to this program, to the next generation. The Veterans made all the difference!

All the boys at Boys State elected two of their own to represent our state at Boys Nation in Washington, DC. Hunter was one of the two, he's jazzed! (He's actually in DC right now as I post this blog:)

Grandpa knew all about serving with the American Legion as he did it for years. Grandpa was near us in spirit this week. He would be so proud.    :)
