Grandparent's Day

Grandma and Grandpa Haacke were able to come and spend some time at the boys' school before leaving on their mission for Grandparent's Day.  Josh had activities in his class room, and Jaxon's class had a program all about Utah.  Here is how the day unfolded:

First they went to Josh's class and filled out a paper all about them with Josh.  It had what their favorite foods were and what they liked to do when they were Josh's age.  (Grandma liked to play stick horses and Grandpa like to play baseball.  They both said their favorite food was sauerkraut.)

It wouldn't be Josh unless he pulled some kind of face.  I am pretty sure this one says, "Mom, can't you see I am busy here hanging out with my grandparents?  I don't have time for a picture!"

Next they went to go and see Jaxon and his program.  Jaxon dressed up as a mountain man for his program.  He was a friend and fellow trapper of Jim Bridger.

Here is the mountain man before the program started.  (He looks thrilled that I am taking his picture--he and Josh are definitely related.)

See that boy with the brown hat (and the hat is all you can see of him) in the middle of the picture?  That is Jaxon saying his part in the program.  The microphone was too low for him and he had to bend down to use it.  Therefore the only thing we saw of him was the top of his head.  The program was great and a lot of fun to watch.  I loved all the music they had about the great state of Utah.

Grandma and Grandpa asked about McKay and his class, but I hadn't heard of anything that they were doing for Grandparents day.  I thought that maybe the sixth grade was above that.  Sadly, McKay said that grandparents showed up and he missed out.  I felt bad.  Other than that it was a fun day and the boys enjoyed having grandma and grandpa come to their school.  They left on their mission to Martin's Cove a couple of days later.  The boys were lucky to be able to spend some extra time with them before they left.
