big weekend for Calvin

This weekend Calvin had a BIG weekend. I am so proud of him. He went on a campout with the scouts by himself. This is the first campout he's done without dave. They camped Friday night. Saturday they worked on an eagle scout project all morning and then in the afternoon they worked on building kayaks. They boys have been working a couple of months on some kayaks for their high adventure trip in june. Dave and Calvin aren't going on the trip but they have enjoyed building the kayaks.  Calvin really gets into it.  Calvin was gone from about 4pm Friday to 5pm Saturday and had a great time and was perfectly behaved.  Kyle McBride helped watch out for Calvin and gave him his medication at night and in the morning. It was very kind of him to do that so that Calvin could attend without Dave going.

Sunday was Calvin's first day passing the sacrament. We went shopping to get him a new belt and shoes and slacks so he would look nice. Previously he had worn sweatpants and tennis shoes with his white shirt.  In years past I have bought him new church clothes on several occasions but they've always been too uncomfortable for him to wear so then he goes back to what is comfortable. He's been doing great wearing his white shirt and tie for many months now.

Sunday Calvin got dressed up very nice and looked great. He went to church early and learned what he is supposed to do.  He did an amazing job passing the sacrament.  We were all very proud of him and he was proud of himself. I am so happy for him to be making such great progress.
