Jesse's EAGLE project happened!!!

WE three, r very happy w/ the turn out of the evening!!!
Jesse has been here w/ grpa and grma since July 22nd. They've spent
plenty of time playing and visiting...
But ONE week ago things got SERIOUS for the Eagle project count down...
Jesse's PLAN: to collect 500 entertainment items for the Primary Children's
Medical Center. Dad Michael helped w/ the flyer-"technical writer"
Jerry enrolled AND drove Mark to Bountiful to help Jesse pass out 300 flyers
to houses in the neighborhood/ward.
Jerry and Nancy bbsat Grpa and cooked him a delicious Bday dinner
while the boys hiked the neighborhood.
Jesse and Grpa discussed the plan for hours and hours... AND got copies
made to deliver to doors.
Grpa rode along tonight w/ me and Jesse and Jesse's leader to pick up the items.
Kid magazines, bubbles, hot wheel cars, dolls, board games, card games, lego sets,
coloring books, dvd's/cd's, play do, paperback novels, puzzles, madlib/suduko books
were on the list.
At the church, we were hoping these were the cars to go out... NOPE....

cell phones and email!

Great Job SON.
We knew 'someday' you would get this completed. It looks like you had some good help from the boys in your ward. You always wonder what type of support you'll get. We are well pleased.
