Samuel took a picture and entered it into the State School's Reflections contest. That was last fall. It kept making the rounds and winning different level after level. Every few weeks he would come home with a prize from school. A five dollar gift card to Wal-mart, a ribbon, a medal and gift card to Kneaders. Then finally I got an email. He had won his age category for Photography. Which meant, they were going to hang his photograph in the Leonardo Museum an Art museum in Salt Lake and we could go and see it all summer long for free if we wanted. Well we finally made it to go see. We actually didn't tell Sam before hand in case. In case there was a problem and the email was incorrect, or the photograph was already down, or something. They had a ceremony for winners at this museum but we were in California with our in-law mission homecoming so we hadn't made it and so I was just unsure of what to expect. But happy day everything worked out and we pointed it out to him on the wall and told him he had won. It was a pretty cool thing! Of course I take a bit of credit for his photography eye. But actually he has loved taking pictures for years, and I think a lot of it is just the "how does this machine work" reason. But either way. It was awesome to tour the art museum with an award winning photographer! After we went to the Tracy Aviary. It was just around the corner and we had never been. We loved it, I was only sad my camera died.
