Ok so not literally, it's actually a beading. Last year when Heidi and Nate were living with my parents before embarking on the great Tucson pilgrimage, my mom conned Heidi into going to Wood badge with her. I am determined not to get sucked into the scouting craziness. I don't really understand how it works, but when you get back you have to "punch a ticket?" or some weirdness and then you get a tie slide for you neckerchief and the ceremony is called beading.
Heidi and Nate were in Utah that week so that we could go to the Guster, Ben Folds Five, Barenaked Ladies concert at Usana. It was pretty much awesome except for the annoying girls that sat in front of Steven and I who I was sorely tempted to punch several times. I did manage to restrain myself though.
Anyway since they were here my Mom invited a bunch of people and we had a ceremony in the park by my house.

I'm not really sure what the deal is with the mustache earrings, but everyone was wearing them.

Xander, Ryan and Colby conducted the flag cerimony
Ryan, Emily, Heidi and Deeder
My mom's probably going to kill me but I don't know if I really remember everyone's name. Tom? conducted the ceremony.

Luckily we were able to pass off another of Xander's wolf requirements and he helped Ryan fold the flag.
