Bears, Bears, Bears!

Last week Calvin was fortunate to be part of quite the production!  The second graders at his school always do a musical, and this was the 30th consecutive year!  It's a pretty big deal attended by many students around the district and community, and of course lots of parents.  Calvin was so excited when he was given a major speaking part.  The play was about a group of scouts who go out and study bears...Calvin did an awesome job playing Boy Scout number 2.  Marc and I were so proud - as you can imagine.  Calvin spoke so clearly...it was very easy to understand him.  And he got every line perfectly...with expression.  I think that's impressive for a 2nd grader.  Of course, I'm a bit biased, but impressive none the less...no?

Saying some lines...Boy Scout #1 was much taller than he was!

Heading into their tent for the night

Singing with the whole group.  When they talked about Spectacled Bears they all put spectacles on!

As you can see by his face, he was really excited to ride in on a snowmobile for one scene.

Smokey the Bear!  This was Nathan's favorite part!

The scouts all shook hands with Smokey after they promised to be responsible in the forest.

Roasting marshmallows and hot dogs.

The final singing number where the four scouts and a bear did a little dance.

My cute little actor.  Marc and I both agreed we were so surprised that this was kind of his "thing".  Neither one of us would have thought this would be the case.  He was awesome though....kind of a natural.  It's amazing how we continue to learn things about our kids all the time.  It's so much fun.  What a blessing to get to parent these little people and learn about them as we go!

Way to go Calvin!
