Granite Flats

Holy cow today was CRAZY!  This morning I had a 7:30 appointment with Stockton's counselor and the person that oversees the math for the entire district.  They were helping me figure out what to do with Stockton next year.  We looked at six different high schools and their math schedules.  We ended up deciding on Alta.  That is the high school that he is going to attend next year.  This is not without huge obstacles.  For one thing, the class we are putting him in is only offered 3rd period.  That means I need to pick up Stockton from middle school and drive him to high school, then bring him back.  I only need to do this every other day since the high school is on an AB schedule.  The biggest problem is the high school has late start on Tuesdays while the middle school has late start on Friday.  Just to annoy me.  So, Stockton will always be late to his 5th period class; on Tuesdays he will be really late.  Well, Friday he won't be late but he will miss his 3rd period class completely.  Confusing?  Yes.  Worth it?  I hope so.  I feel really good about it, so that is what we are going to have to do.  We did need to pull him out of French because it was only offered while he will be at Alta. Oh well.

After that LONG meeting was finished, I came home and started frantically packing.  Maysen and I left for Girls' Camp this afternoon. The deacons went up early and set up the tents.  (The scoutmaster was looking for service hours.)  We didn't send Stockton because he needed to watch the kids while Mike had a few meetings and I would be gone. Anyway, our camp was held at Granite Flats.  Our first activity was canoeing.  The girls loved it!  Well, my beehives loved it.  Maysen said she didn't like how the lake was so small so she felt like she was going around on a treadmill.

We went straight to our campsite after canoeing.  Maysen is in a tent with Athena, Katie and Analise.  I am in a tent with Kanani and Darlene.  Our theme for camp is iBelieve.  We got some great sweatshirts with that saying on it.  Our i is gold.  Our ward was assigned the virtue value.  The other wards' 'i's were the other value colors with the stake having white.  It was great.  Especially since it was so cold at night.  I was so glad for the extra sweatshirt!

While I was gone, Mike took Stockton, Jorja and Preston to their swimming awards banquet.  Instead of trophies they each got shammies.  Stockton's diving coach wasn't there, so they didn't really do anything for the divers.  That was too bad.  It is tradition for the team to pick one girl and one boy to give the 'Most Dedicated Swimmer' award to.  This year they picked Jorja.  Out of everybody.  Wow.
