Lily and Miles Famous!

Well, semi-famous. Well, kind-of semi-famous. Well, they made the newspaper by having their picture in it. Yesterday, Beth took Lily and Miles to the "Colonial Days" celebration in downtown Provo. They got dressed up to go in some colonial clothes and had a lot of fun. There was a person from the newspaper there covering the event and took a picture of the kids. You can see their picture from the Deseret News by clicking here.

They were very excited to see they were in the newspaper. It was fun. :)

Here is a video of Beth's point of view of what the reporter saw (the colonial re-in actor says, "God Save America" and a cannon goes off behind Beth so the camera shakes):
Here are the kids playing Grace Hoops:


Here are the kids using their muscles on a replica of a Gutenberg press at the Crandall Printing Museum:
