Scouts, Sewer, Singing

Jacob participated in his "Ordeal" for the local Order of the Arrow. They went to Oak City, Utah on November 9.  It was the first really cold night of the month and he couldn't use his tent.  It didn't snow however, so that we a good thing.  He stayed nice and warm in his sleeping bag and had bedding underneath. The boys participating in the ordeal had to take a vow of silence for 12 hours.  The group also participated in a service project of helping to rake and clean the city park. He received his Order of the Arrow sash as part of his initiation ceremony into the Order.

On November 15th we went to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new city reclamation facility.  Dennis was able to take us on a tour of the building and the kids even experienced the "stinky room".  It is a very impressive, green, modern, forward thinking facility.  The city should be very pleased with it!  The local newspaper had a nice piece on the front page. Almost all of our family made it in the pictures!

Friday and Saturday we watched Afton perform in the fall season shows for Rococo.  Her age group is called the Melotones. She has really enjoyed this performing group and has a talent for singing and performing. The theme for this season was animation (Disney). She had several solos in songs like Bare Necessities, Hakunamatata, Under the Sea and When Will My Life Begin. Her solo from the Tangled movie was AMAZING!! She was given a special award (a Rococo bag and Symphony candy bar) for her attitude and good work this season.
