Boys state

Caden left for a week at Boy's State one week after school let out.  It was strange having him gone for that long, but he had a really great time.  He was a lawyer for the first part of the week and participated in mock trials, and then half way through the week he ran for the supreme court.  He had to take a test and do well on it to even be considered, and then he had to give a speech and be voted in.  I can't believe he is brave enough to do things like this - I NEVER would have had the nerve to get so involved.  He made it and had a great time.

Cade and the other members of the Supreme Court:

The last day, he and all the other members of the supreme court were impeached for embezzling money, haha. They didn't even know they were doing it:)  However, the Dean later told them that it was illegal for all of them to be impeached at once, so to consider that it didn't really happen.  Made a good story though!
