Friday my Grandma Taylor passed away, which was not unexpected, and was a great relief for her. She had been miserable for quite a long time and was quite eager to see her husband and other loved ones again. We also recieved a call that Tom's stepdad is in the hospital with congestive heart failure, his heart is operating at 16% of normal...so Friday was kind of a crazy, emotional day!

Saturday Thomas was asked to carry a state flag for the Simplot Games as a member of the Order of the Arrow, so I took him to that and took some pictures - it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be!

They unfurled this giant American flag from the ceiling (I am so disappointed that I didn't get a picture of that! It was awesome!) and then four Army guys rapelled down from the ceiling in front of the flag...so impressive!



Thomas got to lead in the athletes from Utah...and they were a large and rowdy bunch of kids! Pictures of that group are posted on facebook. =)
