As an Eagle, he can fly

 Before sending McKay off to college, we thought it would be a good idea to finally have his Eagle Court of Honor.  McKay serenaded us while we were setting up.

Since it was after church we provided a light lunch before the ceremony.

And then it was time to begin.

There were many speakers about scouting, the rank of Eagle Scout, and McKay's qualifications for it.  Then Mom got to pin the Eagle pin on McKay.

Then McKay got to pin Mom with the Eagle parent pin.

And pin Dad with the Eagle parent tie tack.

To everyone's surprise, he chose his Mom to give his Eagle Mentor pin to.  It was a really sweet thing for him to do.

And then he had to take the Oath of the Eagle Scout and repeat it along with all the other Eagle Scouts in the room.

I'm so glad we had this opportunity to celebrate and honor the work he has done.  He really deserves it.
