Bountiful Boy Brings Home Bronze....

We went to the Utah state guitar championship up at Snowbird, where my brother in-law Ben Competed for the title. My cute sister Lindsey played back up for him on the Mandolin that Ben made for her...It was pretty cute. I was the audience member who couldn't hold back the tears because I was so proud.

The happy little Clarks...


Practicing before the big comp...

The audience members...

The winning guitar...

Lindsey's sweet knee shorts...

The back up mandolin that Ben handcrafted one summer...

The actual competition....

It was so cute there was a little squirrel running around the stage, but Ben was too busy to notice. Anyway...He took 3rd place and came home with some sweet prizes including prize money. We are going to get the state Championship next year so he can compete at the Nationals in Winfield Kansas....

Oh my gosh, why didn't I know about this? And what would your fam do without you?
We had fun today. Tonight at bedtime, Caroline said "Paige is a nice girl, fun at water."
Her little shout out to you.
