Ok-REWIND again...

So, a little while ago Kyler completed his Eagle project and received the rank of Eagle Scout.  In September many people -friends and family - came together to support and help Kyler reach this goal.  And we thank them for their sacrifices, for their support and donations, and for their service!

His Project...improving the middle school's baseball area.

Before.
 

 
A little prep work before the big day.
 


 The Big Day!
 
Kyler and Kirk discussing the "game plan."
 Dirt has to be moved.  Two picnic tables have to be built.  The dugouts need dirt, timbers and mulch - oh and ant spray!  Concrete has to poured and finished.  Water and doughnuts should be dispersed! :)
 
 
Everyone worked hard... and even had some fun!
 
 
Look at that cute lil' miss hitchin' a ride!
  
 
 
Is that Paul causing trouble again?!?
 

 
 
 
I love this picture!

...and this one!
...oh, and this one!  :)
 
 
 

FRIENDS!
 
 
How many scouts will a folding chair hold?
 
I think the kids thought this was the "coolest" part of the day!
 

 

 
 
 
 

This was the end of the day!  Dirt moved.  Picnic tables built (and in working order).  Dugouts finished - inside and out.  Concrete poured, smoothed, finished - and drying.  Water and doughnuts gone!  :)
 

After (about a week later).

 

Since Kyler's project was finished, he has been thanked by the school's softball team (the girls and coaches found him at school, circled him and thanked him - I would imagine his face was pretty red), the Columbia County Board of Education and Grovetown City Hall.

Kyler is now into another school season of baseball and still excited and very thankful to all who made his project complete!  The baseball field has continued to see improvements - which is really awesome!  The school recently had another concrete pad poured for batting cages - and cubbies and bat racks added to the dugouts.  Gooo Grovetown!  :)
