Caden and his family live in a small town. His father has a military career and is at home right now. Caden helped with Pancake Breakfast by spending the morning working with applesauce and assisting where the manager directed him. The friends participated in two Fire Station Camp Day events that helped children learn about firefighting. They would have the opportunity in a few years to be junior firefighters. Caden and his friends enjoy the baby animals on Kaitlyn's farm and learn about gardening during these summer days. They help out the elderly Mrs. Edna in her strawberry patch by spending the morning picking strawberries. It was a treat for Caden to walk to Mrs. Edna's house in the cool morning air in the quiet of the small town. The new day started serenely with birds singing and Caden thinking about his blessings.
