Mike's Bead Ceremony

On June 22, 2013 Mike was awarded his Woodbadge beads! He had actually completed his ticket a few months prior, but waited to be awarded until his dad was in town. Here are the pictures. Thank you, Ryan, for taking pictures of us while I was up at the front! Before the ceremony we ate out at Maddox, which is always a treat. Mike has always said he'd rather just have my dad (the course director of his course) hand him his award and that would be it. I thought Mike put too much time and effort into this award to not be recognized, so we compromised with a small ceremony at my parents house. Thank you mom and dad for letting us use your house and doing Mike's ceremony. It was wonderful!


Here are a few photos before the ceremony.




Presentation and posting of the flags.




My mom talked for a minute about Woodbadge.


My dad then talked about the award Mike was receiving and the pieces that went along with it.


I got called up to assist Mike in putting on all his new things!










Good job Mike!





The flags being taken down.


Mike's leader couldn't make it, but had a present waiting for Mike. Thanks Mattie!



The congratulations cake! It was delicious. When we ate the cake, Isaac reminded us all that we needed to sing happy birthday - there's not cake without a birthday! So we sang!


Joshua the Magic performed a magic show for us, it was great!





Isaac even got a turn to try a trick.
