Lamb Days and "Singin' in the Rain"

Last Friday we went to the Community/High School production of "Singin' in the Rain". We knew 3 adults and 3 kids in the play and sat in the 3rd row with several friends from our neighborhood. It was a blast and we were both really impressed with how well it was done. It's always amazing to me to see the amount of talent that can be found in one community. I loved watching the tap-dancing and they were really good singers.

Last Saturday we headed down with the Dan and his kids to enjoy a bit of Lamb Days in Fountain Green. Part of the various celebrations was a Co-ed 4's volleyball tournament. Our team consisted of Adrienne, Dan, Bryce (as a sub), and Kasilia (Dan's neice). We had a great time and took second place overall. The only team we lost to the entire day was the eventual champs. We lost 25-22 and 25-23 so they were really close games. Here are some photos from the event.

This first one is Dan's youngest, Tyson. He's a cute kid and surprisingly strong.

Here we have Adrienne getting ready to play some volleyball.

I am setting Adrienne so she can hit the ball.

And Adrienne delivers the big smash with Dan watching.

Finally, Kasilia is serving another ace (at least that's how I want to remember it). Bryce wasn't playing in this game so he graciously took photos of the rest of us.

I saw the SWAT truck!

Last night I rode down to Fountain Green with my friend Dan. He was participating in their annual Lamb Days coed softball tournament. This tournament is interesting because you don't sign up teams, you just sign up in pairs (one guy and one girl). Then you are randomly assigned a team. It's just a fun event for the whole event to come out and enjoy everybody's company. An interesting thing happened on the way back.

When we got on the freeway, we started seeing cops going the opposite direction with their lights flashing. Between Nephi and Payson we saw 18 emergency vehicles. Most were Utah Highway Patrol or unmarked SUV's, but we saw a Fire Marshall, an ambulance and even the SWAT truck. It's basically a mini-sized semi. Needless to say, we were curious what was going on, but I didn't find out for hours. I guess there was a domestic dispute followed by a police standoff in Nephi, but there still aren't very many details available. Sounds like a sad story, but nobody got hurt. I had never seen anything like that before. 18 random emergency vehicles spaced a mile or two apart, all going the same direction, but no two together.
