The long awaited last step to earning the Eagle finally arrived. Of course it ended up being on a chaotic night. Dinner was taking longer than I thought and Jason was stuck on a late phone call. We were rushed out the door and Graham was really nervous about going and making sure his uniform was all in order.
We rushed to the Stake Center not knowing what to expect. We certainly didn't expect what we found. There were TONS of scouts there for their board of review and when we gave the guy our name Graham wasn't on his list.
WHAT!?!
Oh wait, they found him. They had him down for 7:30 and they had told us 7pm. At least we weren't late. Apparently they take about 10 scouts every half hour for their board of review. Holy Cow that is a ton of boys! Bro. Sylvester came (Scout Master) to introduce Graham and I felt bad that he was stuck there a half hour early too. Jason never did make it.
Graham was sooooo nervous when it was his turn and Bro. Sylvester and I didn't get to stay in the room with him for long before we got kicked out. It was a good 15 min. interview but when they called us back in they shook Graham's hand and said he was officially an Eagle Scout.
Whew.
Graham and I were so relieved that we did a big old victory lap through Swig's drive thru for a dirt ball cookie.
While we were filling out his final paperwork it asked what he had learned. He said, "Eagle projects are like sprinklers, they bring out the worst in our family". Hilarious (and probably true).
