The small bridge

Scott made two bridges in the woods behind our house.  Timmy and Aaron have helped with them as well.  This little bridge was Aaron's idea.  He created his own trail down to them and wanted it by these rocks and his "island."  It's a place in our woods that he feels some ownership and pride about.

So, I took this picture of Aaron by his bridge while we were hiking around last week and shot off an email to his teacher with it, since she and I had just been talking.  

Aaron has been learning about bridge building at school during a STEM segment, and she was excited to share what he had applied with the principal, and asked right away if she could share the photo.

Well, the very next day, Aaron got called down to the principals office.  (They let Aaron know he wasn't in trouble)  The principal asked if he could share his photo at the assembly that day.  So, Aaron came home super-excited and told me all about it, and how the principal had shown his photo, and asked him some questions about his bridge "in front of the whole school!"

At the assembly he told them that he made it 

1. In the woods behind the house, 

2. with his dad 

and 

3. out of wood.

*Timmy was quick to add that he had helped too, and wanted his due credit.  I'll note that here.  

Credit.  Given.

So....here you are Scotty....a proud dad moment!
