Chris and Mike's Eagle Award Ceremony

Tonight was the night my two brothers got their Eagle Awards in the Boy Scouts program, so here are the pictures I took with my handy-dandy Smartphone! I may not be that much of a photographer but I can snap a nice shot here and there.

Uncle Jeff was nice enough to come and fill in for Dad. And they brought in a real, live bald eagle named Liberty, which was a real awesome experience! Learned a few nifty facts about bald eagles, and it was funny to learn that the turkey almost became our national symbol. According to the guide, it was Benjamin Franklin's idea, but somehow a turkey just doesn't quite hold a candle to an eagle as far as power, majesty, and sheer beauty are concerned.

Then we headed down to Chick-fil-A for a little celebratory dinner, and now here I am, adding the pictures to my blog so they can be viewed on a larger scale with slightly better quality.

So, congratulations, Chris and Mike! This is most definitely something to be proud of.
