Our "S" Week - Shots, Soccer, Snow and Sheep

Shots - Adam had to go to the doctor this week for his check up before kindergarten. He was very excited until Rachel asked him why he was going. He told her it was for kindergarten. Rachel exclaimed, "Adam, you have to get shots!" I was trying to keep that part a secret until we got there. He was a little upset about that and asked if we could just skip the shots. No such luck. He was very brave though and hardly shed a tear. He had to get 4 shots including the tetanus one that makes you sore for a few days. He limped around for a day or 2 and ran a fever for 24 hours but he is fine now.

Soccer - Tanner tried out for a few different soccer teams and made the one that he really wanted to get on. It is called Inter FC and he is just thrilled. It's a premier team and should give him some really good experience.

Snow - David and the boys went on the Father/Son camp out last night with our ward. It was very well attended with about 70 people there. They go to a very nice camp that has cabins and a covered pavilion as well as good bathrooms and showers. Joshua said it is really fun but not really like camping. Adam could hardly wait to go and has been talking about it for weeks. The strange thing is that they woke up to an inch of snow. Yep..... snow. It rained here at home all night and I could see new snow up on the mountains so I was very glad they were in cabins and not tents. They had a great time.

Sheep - I took Rachel, Rebecca and Adam to Thanksgiving Point today for the Lamb & Wool Festival. It was really interesting. We got to see some of the new baby animals including a colt, a calf and some new little lambs and kids (those are goat babies). We also got to watch a sheep being sheared. It was very interesting how calm the sheep remained and we decided that maybe it feels good to be sheared since they said it didn't have to be sedated.
