Festival of Trees 2004

by

Our tree for the Festival of Trees 2004 had a popcorn theme in memory of Paul's love of popcorn.  We made the TV news with our tree. 

This link (http://kutv.dayport.com/launcher/3929/?tf=video_player.tpl) has a news report and at the end is a brief reference to and TV shots of our tree.

Here are some of the pictures:

Our Popcorn snowman.  It took 50 lbs of unpopped popcorn and a whole lot marshmallow/butter "glue" (like is used to make Rice Krispy treats), to make this snowman.

Mark’s Eagle Project

by

 

 Mark decided to make easels and sandwich boards (used for advertising , like for plays and concerts) for Timberline Middle School.  Mark spent a lot of time in his grandfather's shop planing and cutting wood and getting it ready for people to assemble, sand, stain, and finish.

Tuacahn

by

One of the things that we have enjoyed doing as a family is going to the shows at Tuacahn in St. George, Utah during the summer (often for Sue’s birthday).  Billed as “Broadway in the Desert” they put on great shows every year.  They put on two shows during the summer, alternating each night.  This year, we saw “Guys and Dolls” and “West Side Story”.  One of the unique things is the setting.  The stage is outdoors and set back in a red rock canyon with 1000 foot cliffs in the background.

  

You can’t take pictures from inside the outdoor auditorium, but this is right outside it.  The setting is spectacular and the shows outstanding.

Sound of Music

by

In 2003, Alpine started a community theater program and did "The Sound of Music", which had been done by the community 20 years earlier.  Mark played cello in the "pit".  The performances were done in an outdoor amphitheater — that's why it looks like Mark is sitting on stone seats.  They kept having problems with it raining, forcing one performance to get cancelled, and another delayed.  All the musicians had to keep scrambling for cover to protect their instruments.  Mark loved playing in the pit and has played in a number since then.
