   Opening Family Celebration is August 19th 6:30-7:30, at North Canyon Park (3900 Bountiful Blvd, Bountiful, UT 84010). Come to the small pavilion (the pavilion across the grass) to get a name tag. The program will begin promptly at 6:35 in the amphitheater, which is right next to the small pavilion. Come dressed ready to play (adults and children alike). We will be there rain or shine!

Please let me know where on the lawn you plan to be so I can announce it and we aren't all in the same place.**Guide Intro:What if we switch our plan and use our Hey Jude song later for the lip dub and instead do Synchronized Swimming. We thought it would introduce us better and since we did music last year, this would mix it up. This would entail:

   Dressing up in swimming gear (flippers, goggles, floaties, swim suit, wet suit... whatever you want)
   Learning a 45 second routine that Stephanie will send us
   Preparing a 10 second solo during which will be announced your answers to the following questions:

   Name
   Position
   What Olympic sport you would compete in if you could do any of them
   Favorite real life activities
   Something you are looking forward to about this year

   We will practice on Friday at our Guide Family Swim Party

22-25

   CHOICE Family Camping & Rafting trip! August 22nd-25th We camp in a beautiful location (Big Elk Group Campground, Targhee Trail, Victor, ID), raft the Snake River, hike, play games, roast marshmallows, visit the lake and really enjoy getting to know one another and having fun together. Pinned to this channel (at the top if using slack on the computer, half way down the page if using your mobile device) is an RSVP survey for the campout AND a google sheet to sign up for the rafting time that works best for your family. We will only be able to do one trip per person this year. Please RSVP and sign up as soon as you can!

   Josh Mackelprang (a parent of two awesome heroes and an incredible chef) was asked by other parents to cook one group meal - and he agreed! Josh will be making delicious Tacos (gluten free and dairy free)  on Friday night of the campout. It will be $5/person. Please RSVP on the same form above as to whether or not you would like to join in for that.

   Do you have other fun activities that you would like to invite other families to join in during the camping weekend? Trips to the lake, a hike etc. Please send me a slack DM with what you would like to do, and I will put together a schedule of optional activities.

After a great camping trip, the heroes split themselves into teams to work on different systems of the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The quest is to get the car running and registered (passing safety and emissions testing). They are using the engineering method: Learn the system, observe the symptoms (test if working, record symptoms if not). As they explain to the 'customer' what they found, and their plan to fix it, they will explain risks and mitigation strategies.

I must say that the excitement level was high. Several parents have suggested they have vehicles they could donate as well. We appreciate those who are lending tools. I don't have a way to track that so please ensure your hero has it marked and can bring it home.

I was so involved in getting it kicked off I forgot to take pictures of them around the car. It is exciting to see them jump on the computer to learn their systems. When they think they understand the system, they explain it to the rest who get to ask questions. It's a tough audience. I do have some pictures of presentations. Special kudos to Mack and Halo who each took on a system by themselves and did a good job of explaining them. I may have to get another car for Mack to tear apart and put in boxes. He's chomping at he bit.

A local builder said he had some things to donate if we wanted them: a beautiful granite table top, round glass table top, and some other raw materials. We will be building up other 'lab' areas to provide opportunities to examine other technologies: sheet metal forming, furnace operations, welding, etc. We welcome donations. Not all will fit around a car at the same time, so I hope to be providing other opportunities while they wait on the schedule.
