4H leaders and kids have wrapped up their summer projects for the Franklin County Fair. It is show time no matter the project, be it an animal that has become a pet, a hand crafted project, cooking, sewing or just learning a new skill. This also means that school days are just around the corner.
The youth of Mink Creek took advantage of having the Bear River flowing down their backyard and had an evening of floating the river. Life jackets were required, in addition to their tubes and floating devices. Food is always a part if these activities, this time it was pizza and milkshakes.
The Young Women group drove over to the Paris Ice Caves near Bear Lake for a learning adventure. Paul McKay instructed and helped them with rappelling. It is an experience to learn “I can do hard thing.” Fourteen people participated in this activity and had a great time.
Charles and Sarah Swann and their children came down from Donnelly, ID, to give some assistance to his father Reed and sister Penny while they have been dealing with some health issues.
Recently Kristina and John Gore and their children Joseph, George and Siena were able to spend some time with her parents, Clifford and LaDawn Jensen at their place perched on the hillside above Station Creek. Besides Mink Creek they managed some time at beautiful Bear Lake. The Gores live in Vienna, VA and were checking some colleges in the west for the futures of their children.
The first day of school in the Preston School District has arrived. First day pictures being taken, some with happy smiles, others a bit more disgruntled, that may only last until they meet their friends in the school halls or on the playground. There is even the possibility of making new friends. It is a time to adjust schedules, mentally and physically. Even with this overly hot season this year, it is a welcome change in most homes.
