Verlon Southwick Reunion

Bill and Alex were able to attend a little bit of the Verlon Southwick reunion this year held in Dietrich, Idaho, in the "valley."  Alex loved it!  He got to go down the water slide, play ping pong, climb trees, and ride a horse and a four wheeler.  He now thinks he wants a four wheeler for his birthday with a helmet and license.  Dream on!

Quarterly Primary Activity

We had our summer Primary activity with a camping theme.  We divided the kids into groups and took them around to various stations.

They learned about first aid, sang camp songs, took a nature hike, made a nature craft, and went through a cave of wonder where they learned about our Savior.  It was loads of fun!

Scout Space Derby

This year instead of a Pinewood Derby the Scouts decided to do a Space Derby.  Alex did a good job making his, and it did go pretty far pretty fast until the rubber bands broke.  For some reason Alex decided he needed to wear this hat all summer.  Eewwww.

Swim lessons

Alex was able to take a couple of sessions of swim lessons at the Farmington City Pool this summer.  It was really funny watching him do the back stroke because he would do a u-turn and end up back where he started.  One time he did a full circle.  He finally figured out how to straighten it out and get to the other side of the pool!
