Activities

 Here's a brief overview of some sporting activities and such.  Both Spencer and Carson played soccer this spring and took swimming lessons while they were out of school.  (I have more pictures of Carson playing soccer, but I can't yet figure out how to put them on here.)

 Action shot!

 Even some of the parents told us that they enjoyed watching Andy coach as much as watching their kids play!  No one could have been more enthusiastic and invested in the team!  The one time Spencer scored a goal, Andy was hoarse for three days from all the cheering!

Here is a cute little fan.  He was quite patient most of the time, sitting through lots of soccer games and practices!

 Spencer loves the big slide!  He does the breaststroke very well, just needs to work on his butterfly more.  At least he can save himself if necessary.  That's my main requirement!

 Here comes Carson!  He finally started enjoying the slide too.  He is also improving his swimming skills nicely.


 We took everybody on a trip to Dinosaurland, Utah.  We had fun just being away from home.  Our hotel room was an adventure in itself.  This quarry was actually an ancient riverbed, FULL of various dinosaur bones.  Pretty cool!  They built a building all around it, so it's very convenient for visitors.

We went to a dinosaur museum.

 This is what happens to the poor soul who sleeps with Parker!  See Spencer teetering on the edge?

We visited a cabin in the middle of nowhere.  A lady lived here until she was in her 90's!  Alone!  She raised cattle and took care of herself, with no neighbors or electricity.  She had a dirt floor and carried her water from a nearby stream.  I forget when she died, but it was fairly recently.  I wonder if she even knew about television!
