We flew out with Megan to Utah in July. On the day we arrived, Jessica took us to see Aladdin. The very next day, we drove down to St. George to see the show at the Tuacahn outdoor amphitheater. We stayed at an Airbnb with Jessica's friends. One morning, Josh and I and Mom went for a little hike in the Snow Canyon State Park. On the way back to Provo, we took a tour of the St. George Temple. We said goodbye to Megan, but she was able to stay with Jessica for a few weeks.
Living thousands of miles from my grandson, it is a grand honor to participate in some of his activities. So when the opportunity arose to attend one of his soccer games, we were delighted to accept the invitation. Although his team did not win, the game was not about winning but was about rewarding every member with the same rewards: a large conspicuous badge and a sumptuous frozen treat and a photo op of the team and coach. Although he did not score and at times seemed not to know what was going on, we enjoyed watching him grace the soccer field with his running around the whole field. He seemed to be saying to us to watch him, which we did with pleasure. I am proud of my grandson for trying. One day, I believe, he will be a great soccer player. But for now, he is still my favorite soccer player in America. And that's what counts. Go, Blake!
