Running on Fumes

It is a mean trick to assign massive homework projects during the last month of school. Don't the teachers know we're just running on fumes here coming into the final stretch before summer vacation?! For his Millard county report--which, I might add, is not exactly an exciting destination--Hank made trilobites out of plaster, created a diarama of a famous Mormon/Indian battle, and sculpted a rock formation of Joseph Smith's profile out of salt dough.
