After the moving truck left on the 11th, the kids and I stayed behind and stayed at Mom Harris's house. I wanted the kids to have one last day of school in St. Anthony where we were just coming off of Spud Harvest. The kids went to school in St. Anthony on Monday the 13th. I picked them up at around noon and we headed for our new town in Afton Wyoming. Our rental wasn't quite ready so when Shane got here with the moving truck, everything had to be stacked in the garage so that the carpets could be cleaned. We stayed at Rob and Rachael's house for most of that week. The kids went to their new schools on Tuesday, October 14th. Taylor is at Osmond Elementary for 4-6 grades. Brennen is at Afton Elementary for grades k-3. We ended up living in the upper valley so Taylor isn't able to go down to lower valley to Shane's school, but she's ok with that.
They are breaking ground for a new elementary school this year for Afton Elementary. Parker should be able to use it when he goes to school.
The day we moved into our house, the scout leader was on our doorstep needing me to sign a permission slip for scouts. An airplane ride I asked???? Yes, an airplane ride!!! The next day, Wednesday, October 15th, Brennen was able to go on his first airplane ride with the wolf cub scouts from three wards. There were ten boys all together and only two could go at a time. Each ride took about thirty minutes start to finish. I was able to go and help drive the boys to the airport and take some pictures and video too! Brennen was able to be on the first trip into the air.
This is Brennen and Dawson a kid from his troop getting ready to climb in.
Each kid had a head set so they could talk to the pilot and hear eachother scream!! Brennen said he didn't scream at all. (I need to check with the leader about that!)
This is Brennen taking off. The boys all cheered and waved at them. The pilot tipped the wings from side to side to wave at us on the ground.
Back on the ground again! Taxiing in.
"That was awesome!"
What a fun experience for Brennen. Our whole experience has been like this since we got here. Taylor has had some awesome activity days too. The kids had a part in the primary program. We have eaten at four different peoples homes, had pie at one, and have had a ton of cookies, rolls, jellies and jams delivered to us. We have felt so welcome here. There are good people here. We like it.
