2nd Place

We went to watch Stockton's award ceremony this morning. It started at 9:00 and didn't finish until after 12:00. It was long. Alta took 2nd in the middle size school division. That is absolutely amazing considering they were three people short! Park City was the school that beat them and they had a full team for sure. The two teams that were picked to go to Nationals were DaVinci and Bingham. DaVinci is Utah's representatives and Bingham is in a new D group category. I don't know what that means. Hopefully Alta can get more people to participate. Three of the members are juniors and I think all three of them are going to do it again.

Scoop and Cori were troopers to stay with us the entire weekend. It was really nice. They stayed through the entire awards ceremony too. Stockton decided to ride home with us instead of on the bus. That was nice because then we didn't have to race home to pick him up at the mall. That is where he would have been dropped off. Stockton got to see Scoop and Cori's house too. We decided to go to Iceburg for lunch. As we were leaving Sherry called saying she was in St. George and wanted to go to lunch with her dad and Cori. Ha! What timing! Sherry met us at Iceburg. It was great to see her. She makes me laugh. We drove separate cars and headed straight home after lunch. Scoop and Cori went with Sherry. Matt had a bike race in town and they were hurrying to the finish line.

 We drove past the Wienermobile. My kids didn't understand how cool that was.

 I didn't even know it still existed.

We were home for about thirty minutes when the missionaries came over. They came in and chatted with us for a bit and played ping pong. Sister Gregerson had us laughing as she told us stories about things her MTC teacher told her. I love the missionaries!
