College Bound Already?

This past Saturday, Doug and I attended Youth Saturday with Zachary and the Youth Group from our Church at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina. This is an annual trip of many of the Southeastern Greater Presbyterian Churches (youth) and their Ministers and some families who wish to join or may want their children/teens to attend the college in the near future. The Dean of Education, the President, Faculty and Staff, Advisors and Coaches all come out and give tours etc., they provide a huge meal in the Cafeteria and then you attend a football game and basketball game in the evening. It's great fun and you learn tons of great stuff about the school, tuition, financial assistance, sports, classes and campus life. Zachary is considering Presbyterian College as one of his "picks" (now that he understands playing football for them might be a tad easier than playing for UGA or Navy).

Doug and I clearly didn't know what color to wear.

Beautiful Campus in deed!

Zachary is clearly too too young for you all to be visiting colleges. That would make me older than 20 and that just isn't so!!!
Tim has great memories of doing those football/college trips. One of his hugest regrets is not going to a smaller school and enjoying playing football for them!

Zack's not lookin' too overly happy to be at the game!!!!
Was he still upset about his wheelchair?
