Fame

Last Saturday we joined a group of people from our church to participate in some Earth Day clean-up activities.  We were assigned a stretch of the river and a fishing pond.  No one worked harder than Caden.  He loves to find "treasures" in our yard and can spot the tiniest little beads or rocks.  So he was a natural hunting for trash.  As we were leaving a man from the newspaper came and snapped some pictures.  I didn't really think much of it.  

The next day at church someone came and handed Clark and Caden a copy of the Pueblo Chieftain.  There on the front page of the Local section was Caden picking up trash and Clark showing his best side to the camera!  Caden has never been more proud.  He sat there with his smug little grin all during Sacrament Meeting, and then took the paper to show his Primary class.  
He was pretty proud to take it to show his Kindergarten class, and then the secretary hung it up in a glass box in the front of the school.  It couldn't have happened to a better kid!  I asked him how it felt to be famous, he said, "it's not that fun being famous, it's just fame."
