Happy Birthday St George 150 Years

It is the 150th Birthday for St George and the city is having a celebration. They decided this year to not celebrate the New Year but wait a couple of weeks and really celebrate the birthday. They have had concerts, art shows, and activities for the kids. This is all for 10 days and everyday is something new for you to do and enjoy. Saturday was the Children's Museum activities for the kids. They could make Pinecone Mice, Clothes Pin Dolls, Scrapbooks, Bean Bags. The kids were excited to get in and start. Each made three projects in the hour and half we were there. They were also raising money for their new museum. One problem someone forgot to tell the volunteers that they need patience and a smile when dealing with lots of children. One city council woman told me that I should help with one project Rylee was needing assistance with. I was busy helping Reganne & Ryder with another one. She huffed off and busied herself with something else. I wanted to remind her she is up for re-election this year. But I kept my mouth shut.

These two ladies were awesome, positive, and eager to help each child have a fun time.

Rylee and her ice cream minus the rootbeer.

After the projects we were off to the Ice Cream Social with the city council. The mayor was greeting everyone as they walked in. One man overheard that he was the mayor and turned shocked and turned back to the mayor telling him that he thought he was just a nice friendly man. The mayor replied I am that too.

We also saw our Congressman Orrin Hatch shaking hands with people. A good time to drum up votes. He looks the same as he did when I first met him when I was in jr high about 30 years ago.

We are tired and ready to go home.

We had lunch of ice cream, rootbeer, and cookies. What a horrible mother I am, but we had fun.

There are alot more activities this week let's hope we can find time for them all.
