2025 C.A.R. Georgia State Convention

The C.A.R. Georgia State Convention was very cool. I love all of the tradition and ceremony that happens there. McKay wore a badge that said it was his first convention. 
He got to meet the National President, Emmerson Sites-Byers. 
Looking sharp!
McKay is part of the state color guard. 
The gloves are a nice touch. 

They always sing a song, that we have yet to learn...
Time keeper. 
Thanks goodness for Kholson Bull. One of the only kids that McKay relates to. 
After the morning session, we went to Riverside Park and picked up trash. There was a competition to find the weirdest thing, so people kept bringing back huge weird things. This is what McKay and Kholson found. 




McKay, Kholson and Jantzen. 
We want home and got ready for the banquet. It is so fun to dress up!
They had a professional photographer. 
It was fun to get some pictures taken together. 
Patriots of Liberty chapter. 
Our whole group. 
Banquet tables. 
McKay didn't know anyone at this table. He was a good sport. 
Color guard awards. 
Our chapter got a ton of awards!

Each person had to find an escort. McKay asked this cute girl if he could escort her.













McKay wasn't super thrilled with the dance at the end, but he did his best.
Pretty much the boys just played a pretend basketball game. 




It was a fun state convention!

Keep Forsyth Beautiful-Great American Clean UP

My friend Julia was in charge of Keep Forsyth Beautiful-Great American Clean Up this year. McKay needed service hours, so we signed up. We tried to get people to help us, but it ended up just being our family.
We cleaned up Pittman road. It is 1.5 miles long and it took us about 3.5 hours. McKay was a good sport. 

We worked hard together to clean things up. At least we got Chick-Fil-A!







It actually felt good to clean the road up. I am glad that we did it.

Our 3rd Lasagna for Lasagna Love

Lasagna Love has been such a good service for us! We can schedule and bake the lasagna when we have time. This one was made after McKay got home from his lacrosse game and before he did home work and worked out. Perfect!
He's such a good sport. The family that we took it to, the mom was a single mom and has been in and out of the hospital since New years. It feels so good to help people. Especially when I am worried about so many other things!
