Shakespearean Festival 2014

Last weekend, Mom and Dad; Ben, Adi, and Christian; Steve and Summer; and Biz and Jeff, along with yours truly, traveled down to Cedar City to attend the Shakespearean Festival, which has been a family tradition for many summers now. We saw two very entertaining plays: The Comedy of Errors and Twelfth Night.

We also spent part of the day Saturday at the Cedar City Park on Main Street, which is where I snapped this photo of Ben and one-year-old Christian enjoying a piggy-back ride together:

Kaysville Splash Park

My six-year-old nephew Jackson and I spent the afternoon at the Kaysville Splash Park last week. It was the perfect activity for a hot summer day.

"Jumping" Jack was very excited to be there, and was literally jumping up and down throughout our stay. I think it's safe to say that he had a good time.

Improvables in the Park

There was another fantastic mid-singles conference last week, and the Improvables, including yours truly, were invited to perform for the Friday night barbecue up at North Canyon Park. With a great BBQ meal served and 200 (?) or more in the audience for some free advertising for the troupe, we were more than happy to accept the invitation. June 20, one of the longest (sunlight) days of the year, was also a perfect day for an outdoor performance that lasted beyond 9 p.m.

What followed was a very fun night of improv, as they almost always are, with the very talented people I get to associate with on a weekly basis.

One of everybody's favorite parts was Keenan literally coming down out of the woods as Bigfoot to complain about his issues in "Town Hall":

Promenade

School's out for summer! Before school got out, though, my 16-year-old niece Kylee attended her first prom. I happened to be there when her date showed up to meet the parents and snapped this photo when she tried on her wrist corsage.

The look on her face says it all, methinks.
