Fallon's Mock Disaster

Glen and Hannah and cousin Michael got to participate in a mock disaster Friday. Glen's drama students got to be victims when a Navy jet "crashed" into the student parking lot. The makeup jobs were fantastic. Here is one of Hannah after she returned home:

The Lahontan Valley News also had some photos on its website. Hannah is in photo 47 (laying on the ground) and 71-73 (being loaded into an ambulance which took her to the hospital). Michael is in photo 49 (laying on the ground) and he was also one of the lucky students who got a free ride in an ambulance to the local hospital.

A friend took a photo of Glen going around and adding more blood to the victims just before the drill started.

I missed the fun because I was Glen's sub over at the Junior High. Oh, well. Glen seemed to have a blast preparing batches of fake blood (dish soap and chocolate sauce being 2 of the ingredients for the non-edible kind and then he also made an edible kind to have dripping out of people's mouths).

Yep. Memories in the making...and hopefully some good lessons learned along the way.

a few items

Hannah had a track meet at Spanish Springs High School yesterday. It was her last for the track season as she did not qualify to move on. She really had a great time and even though we didn't get to see her compete (the one time we were here, she wasn't competing and she didn't want us to go watch her anyway) we were really glad that she got to participate in such a great thing.

She mainly did shot put and discus with a little running here and there. A few weeks ago she was on a relay team and they placed 2nd! 

Ryan passed his writing proficiency. BIG yea.

He's hoping to increase his swimming speed a little on... don't know which stroke...this Saturday so that he can qualify for regionals in a 2nd category. It's exciting to see him aim for a goal and work hard to achieve it. Really great.

Andrew will be home in less than 2 months now, and I get to speak to him on Sunday.

Glen has 2 more plays plus some one-acts to go, but the end is in sight.

I have learned my crafting skills (gluing in particular) need some improvement. Well, my mom will like her gift (I hope) regardless of gobs of hot glue.

Eric has just 2 more weeks left of his semester. I think he's enjoying his classes and going to college.

Alex did really well on his MAPs testing and is a happy boy.

Looking forward to the next few months.
