Abe made an ice cream pie with homemade ice cream for family night this week.
The Young Men and Young Women in our ward went boating for mutual this week. Here are Carter, Abe and Isaac.
The boats pulled the kids in tubes. Some of the kids got knocked around a bit.
Helen was on another boat. She is sitting in the front.
Our library's summer reading theme is "Building a Better World." On Thursday, Abe, Helen and Gibson built flashlights out of Altoids containers at the library. They wired the flashlights themselves, making a circuit with the batteries, lightbulb and a switch.
On Thursday evening a big group from our ward met to help Carter with his Eagle project. He installed four benches at our local cemetery. The cemetery is classified as a historical pioneer cemetery and there are restrictions to the kinds of improvements that can be made to it. For example, the owners cannot install sprinklers. Except for an occasional clean up project, the cemetery looks forlorn.
Carter's grandpa is buried at the cemetery and he put one of the benches near his grandpa's grave. The earliest graves in the cemetery are from the 1880s. In the photo are Abe, Sue (Carter's grandma), Becky, Gibson and Helen.
Speaking of Eagle projects, Abe finished his paperwork this week and turned his report in to the scout office on Friday. We expect it will take the scout office a couple of weeks to examine his project before he has his board of review.
Helen had her last two performances of The Lion King, Jr this weekend. This is a photo of the performers in their places backstage before the show begins.
Brandan and Becky went to see Henry IV part 2 on Saturday night as part of their quest to see the complete works of Shakespeare. It's a rather long history with lots of long speeches, that was saved by an outstanding performance of Falstaff. During an intense battle scene at the end of the play, Becky was hit by an errant grenade thrown by the Earl of Worcester. At least she thinks it was errant. It might have been payback for Becky dozing off during the Earl's boring speech in an earlier scene.
