Memorial Day Weekend in SLC
Rachel and I decided to spend the weekend with her parents, since I had a 4 day weekend. There were a bunch of happenings that were noteworthy. First Rachel's sister Liz came up with her kids and we all went to this Aquarium. Sorry, no pictures! We forgot our camera. But, it was pretty cool. They even had an Anaconda!!! It was a little one though, only like 8-9 feet... or something like that. We have a picture of one below.
They had a presentation of the animals and we learned some interesting facts about the animals. Most of them I knew, but there were one or two surprises:
Rachel and I went down to Lindon later on Saturday to attend my cousin Justin's wedding reception. Justin and Jiyon looked very happy together. They had really cute pictures of when he proposed. It was good to see cousins Cynthia and Charity. Also, my cousin Jared came down from Rexburg to go to the reception. Now that we know where Jared lives, we may just have to visit every so often. It was spectacular!
On Sunday Kathy, Liz, Rachel and I went to Music and the Spoken Word. It was really packed! We had really bad seating in the very front left behind pillars and equipment, but the performance was still really good. The United States Navy Band accompanied the Choir for the performance and had a few numbers of their own. It was really good.
We had ribs for dinner on Sunday night...
Monday, Rachel and I went to Ikea and bought some small things that we wanted for the kitchen. I helped Phil put together a pontoon that he got for fishing. We might have the opportunity to go fishing in the two pontoons at Bear Lake, 4th of July weekend. I'm excited for it.
We finished up our day going to the theater and watching Angels and Demons! It was really good! I really liked it. Rachel hasn't seen The Davinci Code yet though. We'll probably watch it sometime soon.
That pretty much sums up our weekend. Sorry for not having any pictures, we'll try to be less lame next time.

- Snakes are cold blooded, which means that they are the temperature of their environment. That's why they like to bask in the sun!
- Cockroaches can get up to 3 inches long. They are very important in the decomposition of waste worldwide.
- Alligators float vertically when their heads are barely on the surface of the water. This way, they can use their powerful tail to propel themselves out of the water to bite the head of those unsuspecting antelope!

Finally!!!
There are a few things that Rachel and I like about Rexburg. Each of them are associated with summertime, but this is the most important! We have been waiting for this day since we moved here... Snoasis is finally open!!!
For those of you who have never been to Snoasis before, Snoasis makes the worlds most delicious snow cones. Here is a sample picture of a "Malibu Barbie." I wish it was a scratch and taste. Anyway, you can get a variety of sizes with your choice of flavors, or they have pre-formulated ideas... such as the "Malibu Barbie" (Red Raspberry mixed with Pink Champagne). There are some delicious add-ons, such as a layer of vanilla ice cream on the bottom or cream drizzled over the top. Rachel's Malibu Barbie has both! Today's choice for me was Strawberry, Red Raspberry and Lime with ice cream on the bottom!
The reason that the ice cream is a great addition? Because on a hot summer day, the shaved ice and sugary goodness melts to the bottom and creates a most delectable ice cream flavor! We were super excited to go on this the opening day! Rachel is very pretty, especially with those snow cones in her hands! We love Snoasis!
