Carnival Celebration

This year I was in charge of our school's carnival.  The games and food, popcorn, lemonade and cotton candy are all free and everyone who has 100% homework or attendance get to go.  About 90% of the kids get to go.  They go at different hours according to their grade.  It was so fun seeing Esther and her class come into the gym because this is their first year.  This carnival tradition started when Hannah was in 1st grade and I would bring our cotton candy machine.   For the past 3 years we haven't been able to give away cotton candy because of a state law passed that prohibits certain foods but our principal let us this year because the students could choose a fat free granola bar or cotton candy.  I think only 3 kids picked the granola bar.  Scott was in charge of the cotton candy this year and made 460!  We had 80 parents/grandparents volunteer.  It is a production but so fun. 

Noah's Boy Scout Court of Honor

We have been so blessed to have the Chischilley family move from Lindon, Utah to Page last August.  He is Noah's scoutmaster and knows what he is doing.  It is great!  Page has always struggled with scouting and our troop has gone in spurts.  Scott is now converted to Scouting as the Young Men's President and hopefully we will have some of our boys earn their eagle.

Snow Cave Camping

Scott and Noah went with our Boy Scout troop to dig out snow caves one Saturday in January.  They went up to Cedar Mountain.  One of the Asst.Scoutmasters works for the Utah Dept. of Transportation so he had a location that people don't use that would be there the following Friday for their campout.  When they drove up to camp the next Friday it was snowing and when they got to the mountain the road was closed!  So they had to dig out new caves while it was snowing.  They were at a different Transportation storage area that had a shed and was fenced in.  Half the boys left their snow caves in the middle of the night and went in the shed.  The next morning they went sledding and loved the snow.
