Rendezvous

For their end-of-the-year program, the fourth graders had a little program about the state of Utah. They dressed like someone from Utah's history and presented songs and dancing. They did a very good job. This is a video of them singing the Utah State Song. It's a little long, but to pass the time you can always sing along. Since I'm sure all of us know every word of our state song.




After the program they went to the park for a Rendezvous. They played stick ball, had face painting,
rode in a covered wagon, learned about Indian stuff, and made a possibles bag. (You know, like the mountain men.)

Mothers Day

I don't know about anyone else, but I had a GREAT Mothers Day.

All my Primary kids gave me flowers. :)

County Reports

It was County Report time for fourth graders this last week. They had a little "County Fair" where the parents could come and see all the displays. Robyn had Salt Lake County, and did a great job! She picked out, glued on, and drew everything you see here. She's amazing.

Wil also had a county report, but he wasn't really into it.

His board, however, was the cutest one there! ;)

Story-Telling Festival

Well, my term as PTO President is pretty much over. Wahoo! Now I just have to organize all my junk and pass it on. It was a lot of work, but I'm leaving it better than I found it, and we did add one very cool event this year. This last week, we had the first annual Story Telling Festival. And it was just so cool. The Old West and Fairy Tale booths were our favorites, as you can tell from the pictures.

First we met a couple of princesses....


And various other royalty...

(darn sun)

Danced the Maypole...


Then we headed West and ran into some cowboys (and cowgirls)...

Even saw a few Indians!

(Jennie was so cute! They had some Native American dancers there, and once her headband was on, she just joined in!)

But what happens when Fairy Tales meet Old West?

And (almost forgot) we listened to a few stories.

The funny thing is that I took several pictures,
but they all look like this.
You'd never guess they actually like to listen to stories.

Scout Extravaganza

Having entered the wonderful world of Cub Scouts, we attended our first Scout-o-Rama a couple of weeks ago. Here are some pictures of my girls crossing the rope bridge. Where are the pictures of my scout, you ask? Well, see, the problem is that I never saw him. I caught a glimpse of him in the Parade of Flags, and I'd run into him every once in a while popping corn over a fire, or throwing airplanes, but he had no interest in going around to the booths with his mom. So I'm sure he had fun, but there are no pictures to offer as proof.
