County Achievement Night

Last night was our 4-H county achievement night.  And it was fun and great.  4 Kids turned in record books in our club.  Which is not a lot.  But 3 of those kids got awards and medals.

As a newly inducted record book leader, I made sure most of the kids were there.  In the end, 5 kids showed up.  Rionn was excited because they picked him to carry the clubs name in the parade of clubs. 

Rionn got a medal for his record book for arts and crafts.  He moaned and groaned and whined and complained for a week about doing his record book.


                             

And then they started handing out awards last night, he kept asking if he was getting one.  I told him if he hears his name, he will get one.  (I already knew he was getting one. I just didn't know which one.)    But I honestly think that his drive to succeed in 4-H doubled last night.  He wants a star.  And he wants an emerald star.  And he wants to be an all star.  I was like that too.  I was happy to go and compete.  And then I saw they were giving out jackets. And I HAD to win one.  And I did, several.  So now he wants his bronze star by the end of this year.  And he can get it.  But he will be one busy little boy.  

 Anyhoo, we had a great time. Talked with friends.  Won awards.  Ate a catered dinner and didn't have to clean up.  And there was cupcakes.

                                 

                                 

                                 

Now onto the 2015-2016 4-H year.  It's going to be a good one.  I just know it.
