2 events to be documented

Hope of America Student Showcase - This is a huge chorus of students from all over Utah County that sing and do actions to patriotic songs. It is the vision of a lady named Kathy Macdonald and somehow I got to be her assistant director 14 years ago when it started. I did that for 6 years and then turned it over to Natalie when I went into administration. She did it for 7 years.
This year we came together and the two of us led this huge chorus. We did a great job I must admit. Here we are waiting for the show to begin...
In between some of the songs they have other performances. Jean's Golden Girls is a group of ladies over 50 years old that dance. At the very end, they have their oldest dancer do a solo - she's 92 and she can do a high kick and the splits! You gotta watch it.


St. George trip - We took Jake with us for a short trip to St. George. The main reason for the trip was to see Brian Regan at the Tuacahn. Click here if you don't know who he is. Super funny, clean humor. We love him. Here we are waiting for the show to begin...
The next day John & I did a 30 mile bike ride in the morning. John & Jake did a mountain bike ride in the afternoon. Here's Jake dropping off Clavicle Hill - a four foot drop. Very impressive.

We ended the evening at one of our favorite places in St. George. Short, fun trip.

Yeah for the showcase! I have participated a few different years. Two years ago, my students were the ones on the main floor. It was a blast!

And... I love Tuacahn! I go every year! I am going in July to see the two musicals... I also might take my bike. :)

I'm glad you like my new background. This really cool girl I know showed me how to change them...

What fun! I love Hope of America. My school does it but they don't put on an assembly like Cascade did- I miss it!

Did you video the grandma? I LOVE her.

We should have taken a picture of us at Brian Regan. What were we thinking?
