Cadets

This year, Jaren was privileged to be part of our church's Cadet group.  He had a great year and thought it was awesome that Grandpa Wayne was willing to be one of his counselors.  He was able to earn six badges this year and is already starting on one for next year.  It helps that some of these badges can double up for 4-H projects for the fair also. :)
This past week he participated in the church car races and then also Cadet-O-Rama where they race their cars again and also bring badges that they've worked on.  His cadre received blue ribbons for both their badges!

Jaren won 3rd place for speed in the 4th grade cadre and Grandpa won 1st place in speed for the counselor group - :)  Jaren also won 3rd place at Cadet-O-Rama, but I was not expecting it so I didn't have my camera ready for a picture.
