About a month ago I had the opportunity to go to DECA Nationals and represent Granite School District. There were about 2,100 students there. This was the opening session in an Energy Solutions type arena. It was so fun to just be there and watch!
We had nine students from the district and a couple even placed in the top ten! Well, while the kids were competing, the advisor from Cottonwood and I were able to do a little sight seeing...
First, we went to the Louisville Slugger museum. This was my favorite place! This is the tallest bat in the world, and it weighs 68,000 pounds!
Here's me standing at the bottom of it
I got to hold one of Babe Ruth, and Mickey Mantle's bats
Chruchill downs was my second favorite. It was the week before the Kentucky Derby so we go to watch a few preliminary races.
The grounds are BEAUTIFUL there!
We spent quite a bit of our time in Downtown Louisville as well, it was such a fun place to walk around!
We also went to a Louisville Bats game! Pretty similar to a Bee's game, but the weather was rainy and cold!!!
This is the steam boat we rode down the Ohio river on.
Lady Antebellum did an exclusive concert just for DECA! It was so fun to see them live!
Our last day there, we asked the Hotel to suggest a good Kentcuky restaraunt and they said go to "Lynn's Paradise Cafe." It was the CUTEST little place tucked away back in a gorgeous green neighborhood and had some GOOD Kentucky eatin'
What a fun trip! I was so lucky to have this experience!
Two weeks ago, we celebrated BRAD'S GRADUATION!!
Danny and Brad graduated with the same degree so we all got to watch Brad and Danny walk. Two of my FAVORITE boys right here=)What's a trip to Provo without going to the brick oven!?!Then we went outside to take pictures... It was freezing!
We had both of Brad's grandparents here, (Grandma and Grandpa Harris drove from California to be here!) and our whole family minus Tim, Travis, and Scott and Heidi. What an amazing support group! I dont' know what we'd do without family. I''m SO proud of my little graduate=) He worked so hard to get to where he is and we couldn't be happier! I love you ALL!
