Kyler Meets An Astronaut!

On September 10th Russell had the Fall Camporee for Scouts.  They went to Mt Pleasant to listen to an astronaut speak, spend the night at the park and then go to the Fly-In.  We knew that we had to let Kyler go with them because of how much he likes outer space.  Kyler has even said that he wants to work for NASA when he grows up.

The astronaut he was able to meet was Space Shuttle Commander Rick Searfoss.  Kyler was able to talk with him for a few minutes before his presentation.

Kyler really enjoyed the pictures from the presentation...

Afterwards, Kyler was able to have Commander Searfoss autograph his Camporee Badge.

They also got a group picture with Commander Searfoss.  You can see the excitement on Kyler's face.

We even let Kyler sleep over with them and then learn about rockets and space exploration at the merit badge classes the next day.  He really enjoyed the experience and still talks about how neat it was.

It's Fair Time!

Last week was the Sanpete County Fair.  The kids had been begging us to take them all week, but Saturday was the only day we could, so they had to wait until then.  I guess the wait was worth it, because they loved it!

While we were there, we met up with Rylie, Braxton, Sheri and Kendall.

Kyler enjoyed going on the Big Swings with Kendall and Braxton!

The Roller Coaster was Kenyon's favorite ride.  He went on it at least 10 times!

Kendall was nice and took all of the kids on the Ferris Wheel with him.  They are in the pink seat.  Kaylee and Rylie were so excited about that.

Kaylee's favorite was the Fun Slide.  She went on it until she couldn't climb the stairs anymore!

Kyler didn't have a favorite ride this year.  The Tilt-A-Whirl was his favorite last year and he was a little disappointed that it wasn't there this year.  They all had lots of fun and after FOUR hours they still wanted to ride more, but it was time for the Parade!

Kyler was in the parade this year!  Russell pulled the Scout float and Kyler was able to be one of the Cub Scouts on it.  He thought that was really neat.

Evelyn's favorite part was the candy!

Now they can't wait until next year!
