Utah Summer Games

We were able to go to the Utah Summer Games in Cedar City this weekend. Kinzie was competing in gymnastics. It was her best meet this season. She is in Level 6 and this year she has been struggling, but she has muddled through. She has State next week. It will be her final meet this season. Yeah! We love to watch her and the rest of team, but if you have ever been to a meet before you know how stinking long they are. For those of you who don't know they are 4-6 hours long, depending on the venue. We are very proud of her for not giving up and always trying her best.
We left on Thursday and she didn't compete until Saturday, so we decided to jaunt down to St. George, with the Shepherds' to Sand Hollow Reservoir. We hung out there for a couple of hours and swam. It was pretty there. It kind of reminded me of a little Lake Powell, very little, and we love Lake Powell. We climbed down some rocks to a sandy shoreline. After the kids got into the water they discovered a dead duck. Being the manly man that he his Jeff went out and rescued the duck and then proceeded to toss it on the shoreline a couple of feet away from us. Now not only do we have to worry about Swimmers itch but we need to watch out for the Bird Flu. Can you get that from dead ducks? Nat can you tell me. But as of now, no swimmers itch.

Here is the team cheering on one of their own on vault.
