The STATE FAIR!!!

Austin and I have been to the State Fair for 3 years in a row now and it NEVER gets old. I love fairs. I love the rides, the animal barns, the sea lion show (even though the show was identical to every year before.... line for line), the deep fried food... you name it. I probably love it.

The Utah State Fair!!!

I love little things.... little oranges, little candies, etc. So of course I about died over this brand new baby calf. She was like velvet. And, if she were mine, that's what I would name her: Velvet. :)

The Sea Lion Show.... classic. 

READING Rainbow

The Naurei Primary School has over 1600 students and only 10ish classrooms. Students either have to share desks or spread out all over the floors of the classrooms.There aren't enough books or supplies to go around, so we came up with a really cool solution:

A Teacher Resource Library

This library is for the teachers at the school to check out books and other materials like atlases, books. rulers, protractors and other supplies that don't run out. They can bring the materials to their classes and then return them to the library when they are finished.

Cool, huh? It was created to reach out to ALL the students without the risk of losing the materials.

Well, here are some of the pictures from the creation of the library:

We found some really cool books!

Austin the amazing handy-man. He can build anything!

The school head-mistress and all the teachers were so excited to finally have a library, even if it is pretty small. :)
