Potpourri of Information

As I mentioned previously, I planned to be diligent in my posting. I try to make my posts worthwhile so sometimes I don't post because I don't have much to share. This post is sort of a mixture of information that alone would not be posted.

Summer activities have begun. Cyrus experienced a school "camp" last week that occurred for a couple of hours each morning. He seemed to have a good time with the activities which were centered on a pirate theme. He was invited to attend due to his good behavior and grades. Now he is involved in scout camp which he was originally not going to attend as there was one kid last year that made it miserable and he didn't think there would be anything new to do. A kid dropped out due to a schedule conflict so Cyrus was invited to take the open spot which he decided to do. He enjoyed the first day. By the way, the scout camp's theme is pirates.

Swimming lessons will be coming up for Alonzo and Cyrus. Alonzo is excited. He likes the water and really enjoyed swimming at an indoor activity center in St. George during spring break. He was so excited he want down a water slide without any flotation device before we knew he was gone. Not knowing how to swim, he was somewhat surprised when he got to the bottom and had to make his way to the side! Thankfully, he made it and if he had had problems there are lifeguards posted in several places.

Amy's birthday has passed and mine approaches. We're getting old...er. We don't feel it yet and hopefully won't for a while but to me time is passing too fast. We went to Chilis to celebrate our birthdays and had a good meal. Cyrus and Alonzo had the ribs (kids meal version) which they really liked (they have always bugged me for some of mine when I order it). Deveny got the pizza but wanted everyone else's food (as usual). She seems to like ribs though she is normally not a big meat fan.

We still have to determine when and where we will vacation this summer. With gas prices we will probably not go far. Amy and the kids will probably go to Utah in our fuel efficient Geo (which can't hold the whole family but can hold all of us save one).
