Our vacation Started on July 3 at 5:00 in the morning. My mom, Andrew, and I drove to Cedar City to visit with Jim's family. In the morning of July 4 the town had a really fun parade. They threw candy, shot water at the crowds, and had lots of fun. Later that night there were fire-works. I left to go pick up Devan from work and watch the fireworks up the mountain at Brian's Head. Andrew stayed with his cousins and watched fire works with them.
Andrew is in the choir at school and was invited to sing a solo in one of the songs that was sung at "Back to School" night. He had fun singing and showing me all the things that he has done this year in school. His teacher, Mrs. White, said that she has enjoyed having Andrew in her class and that he keeps her on her toes all the time. He gave me a tour of his room, the school, and the garden that he is making.
Andrew is trying to complete his "Dog Care" for a merit badge in Boys Scouts. He is bathing, feeding, grooming, and exercising his dog while having fun the whole time.
Andrew received the Principal Honor Roll and an award for placing 2nd in the disctict Science Fair. Notice his crutches - he is healing well.
Andrew was one of a few students chosen to go to district in the Science Fair Project. He tested 5 different chemicals to determine what chemical would melt ice fastest. The five chemicals he chose were: Salt, Sugar, Anti-freeze, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Borax. He determined, after 3 separate tries that Salt really does melt the ice faster. He won second place in District and received a beautiful ribbon.
