Looking to see if he was selected for Boy's State.
Yay! Boys State here he comes!
Palmer was so excited about this summer and all of the fun things that he was going to get to do. He had been looking forward to Boys State so much and he loved it every bit as much as he thought he would.
Arriving at the funeral home (weirdest meeting place), to head to Boys State!
They drove to Boys State in a funeral bus...

Palmer thought he had the best group. He just loved these guys.
These were to coordinators and counselors for the conference. They were "a lot of old guys," but somehow they had the boys loving them.
They had a photographer, so it was fun to see random pictures of Palmer throughout the week.

On the first night they asked if anyone wanted to do a devotional and Palmer volunteered. I was watching on Facebook live and I was so surprised when he walked up to the podium. He gave a great devotional! He talked about how Heavenly Father blessed our country and that it was built upon faith from the foundation. He also talked about the parable of the talents. The next day a kid came up to him and told him that he rivaled his catholic priest :)
Palmer ran for Supreme Court justice. He was county health commissioner, Federalist Party chair and won Supreme Court justice. He came home and said he found out he never wanted to be in politics :)
Being sworn in.
They even got to "go to court" and talk about the whole process.
Graduation day!
Palmer took a test and ended up passing it so he could "graduate with honors."
The gold seal on it means he graduated with honors.
One of Palmer's best friends from the week, Jonah.
His counselor.
Palmer made so many great friends and was thrilled to find other boys like him.
What a blessing this week at Boy's State was for Palmer!
