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.

Summer Vacation

by Leave a Comment

We went down to Las Vegas to see Star Trek: the Experience and did some other fun stuff while we were there like, M&M’s World, the Secret Garden at the Mirage Hotel, and Brian braved the roller coaster at New York, New York.  We also had dinner one night at the Rainforest Cafe at the MGM Grand and saw the lions there.  Scott had to spend some of the time at the hotel working, so me and the boys wandered on our own some of the time.  (click on a photo to see them all larger)

On the way home from Vegas, we stopped off in St. George to see “The King and I” at Tuacahn and had a great time.  I love that venue!  While we were in Southern Utah we visited the Brigham Young  winter home, did some swimming at the hotel, went to Zion National Park, and visited the ghost town of Grafton where Scott’s ancestors settled.

Mark on Pioneer Trek

by

In the summer of 2002, Mark had a great experience as part of a pioneer trek, pulling handcarts for three days over a 27 mile route in the Utah desert.  They started at Kanosh, Utah, and ended at Cove Fort.  It was quite an experience for him.  One of the memorable things was there were huge Mormon crickets everywhere.

The next day at the Cove Fort Museum.  If you look closely at Mark's legs, you can see where the dirt line starts and stops.
