My kids and fun at Lindon Elementary

Friday started a little crazy, but it was all fun! Brayden had piano at 7:15 a.m. and then Michael at 7:45 a.m. At 8:15 all 4 boys and daddy started their "Walk to School Day" walk. They are normally bused and it is just over a mile. They had alot of fun and it was fun to see alot of the students walking to school. I met Rick over at the school with the van so that we could take the bikes and other stuff home.

While I was at the school Annella Carter, who is over the Lunchroom came and asked me if I would be willing to help serve in the lunchroom. I have been PTA President over at Lindon Elementary the past 2 years and now I am treasurer. I have formed many special friendships at the school. They are amazing people!!! It was sooo much fun serving the students in the lunchroom. I realized I wasn't as quick as I needed to be in serving up potatoes, gravy, chicken and a roll on each plate for the students, but they were patient :). I loved having the students say hello as they came through the line. It was fun to serve my own 2 boys for lunch.

Then we loaded up and headed to Price for a Friday and Saturday race. These are the last 2 races for the season. Then we will start back up in April if Scottie decides to race next year. It is a nice get away and the boys have a blast. We went to the public pool for Friday afternoon and they have a BIG wave pool that the kids love. Michael is a good swimmer, but he got caught in a wave and couldn't break out of it. The lifeguard hit the stop wave button and jumped in and got him. I asked him if he was alright and he said that he knew that he had to keep kicking his legs to keep himself a little above water until he could break out of it. He ended up being alright, but I think it taught him that there are times that water can be unsafe and you have to be careful.

We then went to the races and Scottie was doing great! He has been really fun to watch all season because he is quick and very competitive with the rest of the racers. Unfortunately, he got caught in a big group of cars, spun and then got hit by another car that rolled to the point of a pretty destroyed car. That was it for last night, but they are working hard today to get the car up and going again for tonight and it sounds like it will happen. The driver that rolled wasn't too badly hurt. I am always amazed at how safe those cars can be even in accidents.

I will add pictures to this post later and probably put the crash on here so that you can see what I am talking about.

We are now off to Goblin Valley for a little bit until the races tonight.
