A Busy Day

Big Saturday for the Smith fam, and many fun pics to chronicle the day.

But first, two updates:

(1) Anya did get a call back for Oklahoma. So she auditioned again on Friday afternoon. There were about 40-50 kids that got called back and they all had to do more dancing. Anya admits freely that of singing, acting and dancing, dancing is the least of her skills. She was pretty frustrated by the end of Friday's audition, but still hoping to take part in the musical. We won't see a cast list until Monday night.

(2) Back in late June, you'll remember the post about Anya's broken arm, and a pic of the Barbie VW Van that was demolished as she planted her face in it during the fall. Well, the Barbie Van has made a visit to Three Girls Body Shop...

You can hardly see where the repairs have been made...it's kind of spooky!

Okay, so on to our adventures of the day.

Karen's neice, Becca, and her husband, Randy, and 5 month old boy, Cameron, came to Utah this weekend to spend time with Randy's sister and brother-in-law. We met them up in Park City for lunch, but mostly so we could get our first in-person meeting with Cameron! We loved seeing them and meeting Cam. He evidently loved meeting us, too, as he was happy, happy, happy all during our visit.


The girls got lots of turns holding sweet Cam:It was an unexpected delight getting to see them. Karen was so excited to see the baby of one her babies!


After lunch, the girls begged us to stop at one of their most favorite parks. We haven't been up to Park City in a lo-o-o-o-ng time, especially when it was warm enough to go to the park, so we stopped at City Park for a few minutes and let the girls run wild.

There is the zip line...

The strange pedal-ma-thingy...

And the log roller...

Karen and I sat in the shade. There was a giant spider webish thing that tempted us momentarily, but then visions of front-page newspaper photos of the two of us ensnared at the top entered our minds and we thought better of it.

Once we got home, Jenna took the camera for some clandestine self-portraits. When Karen and I saw these, we about wet our pants we laughed so hard. Had to post them for you all to see, as well. (Jenna said we could)


Oh, my achin' brownies, that girl can make us laugh!

Does Anya learn her van "improvement" techniques from Steve?

Steve Amstar said...

I sure like Jenna's pictures. Those'll be good ones to have handy for future embarrassment.

Yes, I thought when the van was unveiled that it did smack slightly of Steve Mostar Repairs, LLC.
And we'd NEVER use those pics to embarrass her...only to laugh WITH her. :)
