Last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to attend Grammy and Grampy's Yacht Club (Bristol Yacht Club) Commissioning. It's a nice ceremony marking the beginning of the sailing season, and because Grampy is the Commodore of the club this year, it was a very big deal.
The ceremony was nice - short and sweet. But it began with a flag raising ceremony which was started with the firing of the cannon. As a special treat, Zachary was the one who got the fire the cannon!! It was very cool, and he has not stopped talking about it since. Daddy went with him, and told me later that the reverberation from the cannon was intense, and he was very surprised that Zach didn't cry! As you'll see in the
video, he was a bit shocked, but very excited when Daddy removed the head phones so that he could hear the adoring crowd cheering for him. He was a little star.

Zachary wasn't the only one who got to perform that evening. Grammy
sang "God Bless America" as part of the ceremony, and brought Lexi up
with her for moral support. They did a great job!
Grampy also made a very nice speech, that I did not catch on video, unfortunately. He really did a wonderful job.

We are all very proud of Grampy, and enjoyed a wonderful evening and dinner at his club.
