Today was Make a Difference Day for the Scouts. We went as a family and Grandpa Mark came along to help. We had 65 people helping rake leaves (including children). Together, we raked 9 homes in just 3 hours! It was so awesome to see how hard the kids worked. The best part was seeing how happy the homeowners were to see the kids helping rake! After the raking was finished, we went back to the Scout house to enjoy some pizza.
I asked Alex what he learned today. He said, "I learned to never ever give up. Even when you are tired, you need to keep going."
Seriously, this boy brings tears to my eyes and makes me so proud. Even though he was so tired, he kept going.
When we got back home, Grandpa had a special surprise for him. He gave Alex his Neck Tie from when he was a cub scout. He thought that it was so cool!
