Makin' Grandpa proud

Tyler had to give a speech on a famous African-American who has been an influence to others, so he chose Colin Powell.  He had to dress up like the person he was reporting on and give the speech as if he was that person.  I called my dad up to see if we could borrow his army hat, and of course, he gave Tyler his army coat to wear as well.  I ironed it and we rolled up the sleeves for him to wear.  Too bad we didn't get the smell out - it was very musty and old smelling, but oh well!  It was kind of cool because my dad served in the Vietnam War and Colin Powell did too.  Tyler's teacher said he was very creative and did a great job.  I was impressed that he memorized his entire speech and knew it very well!

 Here Tyler is giving his speech to his grandma, grandpa, aunt and uncle.  They were all very impressed that he had memorized it so well. :)  Way to go, Tyler!
