Weekend Group Games

 The girls had a lot of fun this past weekend playing group games. Toss the egg, Bubble pop, and Relay races.

 The weather has been great and being outside is one of the girls favorite places here at the ranch.

Note from Student

Hi Falcon,
I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done for me! I have been sober for 2 years, March 17th 2011. I am going to graduate high school this year and join the police academy. If it wasn't for Falcon I would have never made it this far! I can never do anything to repay you for all the help, love and support you all gave me! I miss and love! I will keep in touch.

Foam Paint War and Water Fight

 Don't worry it all washes out!

 Silly girls

 They had a blast with warm weather and water who could ask for more fun. 

The girls had a foam paint fight and then had a water fight out in the fields. 

Enjoying the sunshine

Rollerskating

Stepping back in time to an old Roller Rink the girls had a great time laughing and playing as groups.

Tour of Tuacahn "Theater in the Desert"

 On the morning of Friday, March 8th, 2012, we were able to take a backstage tour of Tuacahn Amphitheatre in Ivins, Utah. Tuacahn is nicknamed "Broadway in the Desert," because it is an outdoor amphitheater which is surrounded by red cliffs and Tuacahn's name is a mayan word meaning "canyon of the gods." We were able to see the stage which is being constructed for the rock musical Starlight Express (the performers are on skates the entire time!). We were informed of the system for draining water as it does rain sometimes. We were able to see the green room where actors can relax during the performance when they are not onstage, as well as, the dressing room. Perhaps the most magical and interesting part of the tour was the costume shop where the girls learned a few tips about putting costumes together and were able to see hundreds of costumes and accessories from previous shows.  The tour seemed to be very exciting and both academically and personally inspirational to the girls as I heard such comments as, "I can't wait to start an independent study in Fashion on Monday," 

 "I really want to see a show." 

"I would love to do an internship here."
