Calvert cliffs eagle project

Our boy is on his way to Eagle! We are so close! And so ready! We've spent several of the last few Saturdays (among other days) out at Calvert cliffs state park. It's a very cool place. (:

The first Saturday I took Chris and Asa, and then tony and Robbie met us out there. I took the opportunity to run one of the trails while we there and it was awesome!
I loooove new sights during a run. I get so bored in our neighborhood. 
While I ran, the boys built a shelter and poured the concrete to protect the "cookie."
At the end of the beach trail. 
Some people look really pretty and healthy when they exercise. I am not one of those people. 
On to Christians project. (:  a 100+ year old tree fell and he is building a display with a "cookie" cut from the tree. He had to completely sand, cut, and take the bark off, put a band around and varnish it, then they took it to brother Krugman, who carved the numbers into the rings to show how old it is. 
Just sanding and taking the bark off took many, many hours. 
He's worked really hard on this. A lot of people have. We are so proud of him!

It's in need of a few more coats of varnish and then tomorrow Chris and Matt will head out to hopefully finish this guy off!
Today we've been running around getting signatures and filling out paperwork. We aren't doing the 18-year-old eagle rush, we are doing the seabase eagle rush. But soon we'll have ourselves an Eagle!
