Art in the City

Salt Lake has been putting public exhibits of art around the city, including these electrical boxes covered with the artwork done by elementary school students.  We finally found where Indian Hills' box was, and when we got out to take a photo of it, Carolyn discovered that one of her pieces was on the side of the box.

So much to be thankful for ....

Spending thanksgiving with my family in centerville is always fun, and reminds me of all the things I have to be thankful for.... the people in these photos are at the top of my thankful list!  I wish we were able to see the Altman family this year too.

Climbing

Both girls have caught the climbing bug!

Over halloween weekend, Carolyn participated in DeadPoint, a citizen's bouldering competition.  She had three hours to climb as many problems as she wanted, with her score determined by the 5 highest-point problems. The video below shows highlights from the competition.  (she is not in the video, but it gives a sense of what a climbing competition is like)

Here she is in action, solving a problem.

Best Friend's Animal Sanctuary

We took a small group of girl scouts to the Best Friend's Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah for the weekend.  We were volunteers, working with the cats one day and the dogs another day.
