Daddy is proud of his little guy. Don't they look great in uniform together?!

Happy Harlan at the Blue & Gold Cub Scout Banquet 2011.

We just had the honor to attend the Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet in which Harlan earned his Tiger Cub Badge. Harlan couldn't wait to start Cub Scouts when he entered first grade and he has loved it since. Not only did he get to walk in with the color guard holding the Tiger Cub flag, but tonight he also earned 12 activity beads along with his Bobcat Badge and his Tiger Cub Badge. In addition, there was a dessert contest tonight and Harlan (with a little help from mom) received the overall "Most Creative" award contest. The edible Indian Corn (made out of Kix, marshmellows, dried fruit and fruit roll-ups) was NOT much to eat but it sure did look good. Harlan helped with most of the dessert and he was proud to receive the cake mix prize!

Daddy was able to get off work for a few hours to attend the banquet and Pastor John and Mrs. Michelle also came to support Harlan tonight! Grandparents were not able to come because they all live out of town but we hope these pics sum up how proud Harlan was this evening. Mom and Dad are so proud of him.
