End of school...just a few more happenings!

At last the end... of the end of school year pictures and blog worthy events! (at least i think so)
The last week of school, the entire 7th grade went on a field trip to Antelope Island. I was one of the parents who had the opportunity of being a volunteer to assist with this field trip. Lucky for me, this included riding the stinky smelly school bus free of charge!!!
I have to say the best part of the whole entire trip was of coarse that I got to be with my favorite 13 year old son, but the second best part was watching what actually entertains Tyler and his 13 year old friends.
I use to think that boys this age need a computer, t.v., Wii or DS, but I was mistaking. All they need is a bag of chips and a few Seagulls!!!
They spent a whole hour, during lunch, trying to get these Seagulls to land on them and eat the chips off their stomach. It was hilarious! They never were successful, but they sure had a great time.

I think this is about as close as they got!


Garrett putting the bait on Tyler's stomach.

I think every Seagull in the state was at Antelope Island that day!

Another fun event was Madison's violin concert. She did Awesome!
We did ask her if it was against the rules to Smile!!!

She even got to lead the group in a few songs!

The next few pictures are taken with Mark's camera phone. The coloring is a little off. To bad we seem to have a hard time remembering our camera!
Mark got to go with Kaden on his field trip to the Fish Farm. Yes, the same one that turned out to be our $90 family home evening. (A story for another day, and a great lesson learned!)
Kaden and Mark had a great time! Each preschooler was allowed to catch one fish. I wonder if the preschool teachers are smarter than us or if they also had a $90 lesson.



This is Kaden with his friends at "Preschool Graduation".
They are so dang cute!

This next picture is not real great, but a great event so it has to be posted. This is a picture of my "Graduation". After a stressful day of testing, our group all went to Sizzler in Logan with our spouses to celebrate. I am now an official Foot Zone Therapy Practitioner. I am so excited to have the hard part of the classes over with, but will miss the great friends I made. Hopefully we will still stay in touch. I really love zoning and love how much it has helped my family. Thank you to all of you who let me practice on your feet! Any questions about what foot zoning is, check out the website wedofeet.net.

COMING SOON.......All of our great Summer Happenings!!!
