Did he go up there by choice? Or was he recruited? Must have been fun for you to watch (and photograph!).

@olivetreeann It was his second choice but the one they both were accepted in and pretty hard to get into. I think they will love it but it brought back memories of watching from the sidelines on the first day of kindergarten

@pandorasecho Oh- I meant was it his choice to go stand with Sammy the Banana slug! lol Yes- there will be a lot of watching now and not as much participation. But even though it may not feel like you're as much as a part of your lives, you will still be important to them- boys just don't always show it the way we wish!

@olivetreeann Oops, no this was one of those ice breaker games all the kids at this freshman orientation, there were five different days, were in a circle and the mascot was moving around doing rock paper scissors
