MAYLIN2007

In April, when it was Spring break we spent some time exploring Southern Utah. We spent an evening in Grafton, Utah. It is a ghost town because pretty much everyone died off. They were either killed in an accident, by each other, or by a disease. It was pretty sad and the town had the reputation of a place of death. The cemetery there was cool. There were Indians buried there as well as families and little kids that were killed in tragic accidents. It was a great piece of history and fun to take pictures of.

With her learning disability, we knew it would be, but she did great and we did not ask for any accommodations. She just went for it and did the best she could do. Her learning disability makes it hard for her to process questions quickly. This is the hardest part, but we were proud that she went for it and wasn't afraid! I did the contestant DVD that was shown the night of the pageant and I did all the photography. I also got some of the prizes. I have helped the last 4 years, but this is my last year. I have always been hesitant of pageants, but the past few ye...
