After the Flag Cerimony we broke for a bit for lunch and then headed back up for the boys tool lesson and project that dad had for them.
The boys were to "find" tools in dad's shop that were on their list. They had a good time "finding" the tools and then using each one.
Braeden took up residence in the boat and was soon intrigued by what was going on. It was not long before we heard a little voice say, "Me want a turn"......
Dad had all the parts cut out for the boys to make their own set of book ends and the dad's (Scott and Walter) jumped in at the end to help out the boys put them together.
All 3 boys did well using tools and Braeden shocked us all with his skill in jumping right in, trying each tool like the older boys were doing!
One funny thing that happened was when someone overheard Bailey calling my Dad "Quarter" instead of "Porter".(he miss-heard when introduced)... Braeden refused to call him anything other than "Grandpa"!
"The central task of education is to implant a will
and facility for learning; it should produce
not learned but learning people.
The truly human society is a
learning society, where grandparents,
parents, and children are students together."
