4th Grade Mountain Man Rendezvous

Friday was the 4th grade Mt Man Rendezvous. It was so much fun. A real mountain man came and talked with the kids and there were several cannons that went off. The kids really liked the cannons. Michael came home and told me he wants to be a pyrotech and light projectiles in the air! I was in charge of the tool table, the kids hammered pegs into wood with rocks. It was fun. They caught fish with their bare hands and then gutted them, YUCK! He brought it home and John helped him cook it on the grill. He ate the whole thing, he loved it. Sophia also caught a fish, she wanted to feel how slippery they were. There was a pie eating contest and Michael was chosen to participate. Here is a video of him trying his best. He looks like he might hurl at the end but he manages to keep it down.
I have lots of videos I need to download. The Bells have had a very busy week. Michael is going strong in baseball. Sophia started soft ball practice. Emily was given 2 awards at the "Knight of Excellence" as she is a Kaysville Knight on Tuesday for being on the honor roll all year. Michael and Emily are getting ready for piano recitals. The end of the year is so crazy but also alot of fun. I went on the 4th grade field trip to the planetarium and the state Capitol with Michael and his class. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful.
Enjoy
