Family Life Merit Badge

As part of Nicholas' Family Life merit badge, he was required to complete two projects that benefit his family. The first one he completed last summer, and it consisted of spreading mulch all through the garden beds. I'll try to remember to post a picture of it soon.

The other project Nicholas chose was to bake a meal for the family, which he completed back in January. He decided to make meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and a cake.

He had to peel all of the potatoes - which you can see he thoroughly enjoyed doing(not!).

He was also going to bake a loaf of bread, but thanks to my visiting teachers, who brought over a loaf of home-baked bread for us that day, he got out of it!

I think his favorite part of preparing the meal was baking the cake and decorating it.

At the next Court of Honor, when he received his 2nd class Scout badge, Nicholas also received his Family Life merit badge. We're proud of you, Nicholas!
