To Zions! ... or the Aquarium

We had been planning all week long to go down to Zion's national park with Ben and Sydney on Friday morning to camp and hike, but on Thursday Sydney hurt her foot running and the trip got cancelled. So, we ended up going into work in the morning anyway. We decided we still should do something all together, so yesterday afternoon we drove up to the Living Planet Aquarium up in Sandy. It was really fun! The aquarium is built in an old grocery store building by the looks of it from the outside, but they had a lot of stuff in there. My favorite part was the teeny tiny sea horses and Spencer said his favorite part was touching the stingrays. The otters were also pretty fun to watch.

When we got back from Sandy we went to JoAnne's to pick up some more fabric to back the quilt I'm making for Josh and Katy's baby. I have some pictures to put up of my progress with that. I'm pretty proud of it so far. Then we went to the library to rent Hamlet for class because we have to have it all ready by Tuesday. We started out reading it together, but after the first act we decided to listen to the readers on the free iPad version we downloaded. That worked a lot better because we could follow along in our books and read the commentary on the side as we listened.

We also picked a bunch of apricots from the tree in our yard! We're going to try to make some jam with them at some point today. We'll see if it works out. But first today we have to go up to campus to study in anatomy open lab for a couple hours, then run to the library on campus to borrow the humanities textbook and get all of our reading for that class done. Our textbook is still in the mail. Hopefully it shows up soon. Like today or Monday.

That's about it for now! Time for some breakfast... Oh, and we also heard some great news about Christy coming out next month for a tennis camp and about Dad and Tyler coming out for a football game at the end of August! We're really excited to see them! And AnnaMarie and Tyler and all their kiddos next month too!
