Last weekend we made a quick trip to Panguitch for my Aunt's surprise 50th birthday party! Before the party we drove out to show the girls my grandpa's farm. Madisen loved looking at the cows & horses from the car, but Caitlyn got to see them up a little closer. Isn't my dad quite the animal charmer!
It was no small task for a family of our size (My aunt has 2 parents, 6 siblings & spouses, 30 + nieces, nephews & spouses, and great-nieces & nephews) to keep the party a surprise, but we did! She was TRULY surprised! It's always fun to do something nice for someone & have them appreciate it. The nieces & nephews all wrote a tribute to her & one of my other aunt's complied them in a book- a memorable gift I'm sure.
After we wore the girls out on the tramp, swings & playing with cousins, we headed home for our ward's Untalented Show. I don't have the best pictures b/c of the lighting & distance, but you'll get the idea. Bill is in the top pictures with the bishopric. They did a fantastic rendition of 'Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam', kid style. Then Bill & I played "Don't Worry, Be Happy" on some homemade kazoos. I was in 2 acts with the primary presidency- one called 'Raindrops' shown below, and another skit where we had some Achievement Day girls sitting behind us while we acted out a presidency mtg. Bill forgot to take pictures of that, but you can see a video of it here if you'd like.

Fun trip!!! Good ol' Panguitch.
What a fun idea for a ward activity! Although I'm a little disappointed you didn't round up us "Dancing Grannies" for a reunion tour. We would've been a big hit! :)
You guys did so awesome in the untalent show. You are such a good sport to be in so many things. It's so fun to see family and create those special memories.
How fun that you got to see family! And what a great idea for a ward activity. Looks like it was a hit!
Fun trip to Panguitch!!! And you guys did such a great job, you were in quite a few!!! I LOVED the TPR band, very creative!!!
You guys did almost the whole show. I'm glad you got back. I didn't even realize you were gone. I'm glad you posted this. I've been waiting to see pictures and video of your fun skits.
That is such a great ward activity. Way to represent your family. You should have demonstrated how great you are at multitasking...doing calf stretches while brushing your teeth, that's talent!
What a fun ward activity! I'll have to suggest that one!
