Let the Festivities begin!!

Summer's finally here... we hope. And, Cedar City is not called 'Festival City USA' for nothing. Last week, the first of many festivals started.









This week we had the Family Festival. Every day there were concerts, games and fun in the park. At night we watched movies in the park - it got a little cold once the sun went down, but the kids had a lot of fun.
We are very excited for some of the upcoming festivals this summer.

I'm especially curious about the Sheep Festival - where they parade over 800 sheep down main street.

There's not much new to report. The kids are slowly making some friends and they have all done well in swimming. K and Ml are now ready to move on to the Pre-Team swimming class, where they will learn to perfect their strokes and swim laps.



M is loving Cub Scouts. He went on his first Day Camp on Saturday. He had to meet his pack at 7:30 am, so Steve and I were up at 6:30 am to make sure he got breakfast and was ready. But he was not in his bed. He had gotten up sometime during the night, put on his scout uniform and fallen asleep on the couch - ready to go!




They had a lot of fun chasing lizards, learning archery and playing many other games.













We have also planted a garden. It is a garden 'by the square foot'. We planted corn, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, green onion, lettuce, beans, carrots, and pumkins. We're holding our breath to see what happens. We've seen a few small sprouts. The kids had fun helping to prepare the garden and deciding who got to plant what - even though we were using manure.


















Even O has made a little friend - this is S.

















Steve is just waiting to get his 'wings'. He has passed the ground school and the FAA written test for Private Pilot License and just needs to pass the Check flight with an FAA instructor. Hopefully that will happen in the next few days.
