Bang Bang boy

Hank at SC mountain gun club.

The scouts hiked 6 miles and then to the gun club to pass off their merit badges. Hank was the amazing kid. Hank was a sharp shooter. He shot his first try with a 100% hits. The trainer was shocked this was Hank's first time at it. The second set of 25 he missed 2 (98%). Dude,.... Hank Rocks. The rest of the day I spent with Hank sitting in the shade watching the others try to qualify by getting 48% or more to pass. Several didn't make it. Way to go Hank.

Audrey and some friends

Audrey is graduating to high school with friends who think highly of her. Graduation was during a heat wave but we were all proud to be there to see her move on to 9th grade. She is an honors student.

Hank is moving on to middle school and we watched him today graduate as an honors student. I am glad that they are doing so well. All the Halversens are noted for having smart kids. This be the truth. Hope your having a great summer. Scott

He'll be there when you need him.

HELLO SUMMER!

We decided to take a summer vacation early this year and beat all the rush to Yellowstone! We had a great time. We saw every animal in the park except a moose, but it's o.k. because we saw one up the canyon from our house today so we're counting it! The park was empty with the exception of a bunch of wildlife photographers trying to catch a glimpse of some newborns in the park. The day we got there a photographer got mauled by a mama grizzly. He followed her and her cub for about a mile when she got sick of him and literally took his face off. I think leaving a mama bear and her cub alone is probably a better idea. A nice big black bear came within a foot of the car and the kids were pressed up to the glass like suckerfish. It was great! We had a little bout of the stomach flu, but it was nothing that could slow is down too much. We took a short stop in Jackson where they had an Old West festival going on and then headed home. It was a great trip! So that was our official summer kick-off! Now it's time to get serious about the reunion! I think it is going to be a great time and I'm planning some good times together. The kids are really looking forward to seeing all of their cousins as I'm sure all of your kids are too! You should have recieved a note in the mail giving you some info. If you need to know anything else, give me a call or an email! The resort web page is zermattdolce.com (I think!!) If that doesn't work, Google Zermatt Utah and you will find it! Can't wait to see everyone!
