Desert Star Playhouse

Robert wanted to take the family to a playhouse called "Desert Star" in Murray. It was started by some friends of ours about 20 years ago and has grown to a huge success since. We saw a parady of "Mary Poppins" called "Scary Poppins" (we saw the last day for this was today), with a hero and villian, the piano playing music for the boo's and the ahh's. Audience participation is encouraged and fun. When the play was over, they did an "Oleo" act, paying tribute to "America", focusing on our Veteran's. We ordered pizza, and drinks and ice cream for deseret. The kids had never been before, they really enjoyed themselves. The "MC" recognized birthday's etc., mentioning Robert celebrating his "50"th birthday. Even though it was a few weeks after his actual birthday, it was fun. The afternoon was spent out in the yard, picking up what we hope was the last of the Walnuts, I think we have hundreds and hundreds of walnuts that fall from that tree, then mowing the leaves. There are still more leaves to fall. Robert and Scott shot off rockets from their launcher that Robert built several weeks ago at a High Priest activity. He just got his compressor this week so the launcher will work. The rockets shot pretty high up, you have to have good eye sight to follow it down. Good thing we have Scott around, our eyes don't work so well.
