Dance Extravaganza May 27, 2011

 Every year, the School I go to, puts on a "Dance Extravaganza".  We had them when I went to Elementary school in St. George.  But they still do it here.  I really don't know if I enjoy them or not.. I"m mean, really... I did them in elementary.... and I truly did NOT want to do it this year.  But I did anyways.  There's not much I can do to protest, you know??  They dressed me up in a suit.. heavy duty style and put a hat on me.  I was suppose to be " Mr. Banks" from Mary Poppins.  Then we danced (wheeled) in circles and ended up flying kites.  The ONLY way I would do any of this, is if my kite said BYU on it.  But I still didn't like the idea.  But my mom insisted that I do it, and so I did.  The kites fell down from the top of the school building, and they put the string in my hands, and it looked like I was flying them.  Actually that was pretty cool!   All I can say, is that when it was over... I was MUCH happier!

 

This is my mom and me with the BYU kite.  Pretty cool.. But I can't figure how to change the angle of the picture.. so sorry!  Silly blog!

Fishing Day May 12, 2011 @ Dan Peterson

We had our annual "Fishing Day" at school.  My teacher Jean, has this wonderful secluded spot in Payson, or somewhere near it.  It's a wonderful pond, and is great because it is wheelchair assessable.  It is shaded in some spots and it is great fishing.  My mom wanted to find out where it was, so she sent my home helper, Rory Eyring to school with me.  He was assigned to stay the whole day with me.  We had a lot of fun.  Rory loved the spot.  We caught two fish, and just when we were about to catch more, they came and told us that 2 was our limits.  We didn't know!  My mom told Rory to take them home... she's not a fish person.  The fish were huge... check out the picture!  Also, there is a girl in my class that has a pushchair.  They put me in it, to see if I would like it.  I really liked it.  I relaxed really well, and it was very comfortable.  I'm hoping that for Christmas this year, maybe I can get one.  It's a chair that goes in hard to reach places, like trails and rough roads.  I had a really fun time fishing.  Every year, we also get these baseball hats that say, "fishing day" on them.  So my hat collection is growing.  I like hats...
