Happy Birthday Mckell!



Mckell is wonderful. She came up to spend the weekend with us. We went snowboarding at Beaver Mountain with her cousin Bryce who was fresh off the mission. It was a beautiful day. She's been gone for a year and a half and still outdid me on the slopes.
That evening we doubled dated with our friend Brayden. We went to the Indian Oven- my first exposure to Indian food. We loved it! I even got the lamb curry and was very impressed. We did some black light bowling which we all had a pretty lousy game. But luckily we found a lucky orange ball that saved the day. We headed back to our apartment for some 8 minute birthday cake (Happy Birthday Mckell!), Planet Earth, and games. It was super lucky fun!

Rat-tacular!

We feel that rats have been given a bad wrap and that it is our duty to clarify. A few facts about rats:
-They were responsible for the plague.....oh wait, scratch that
-They make great pets- of all the rodent pets they are the cleanest and friendliest
-They love people and will learn your voice. You can call them by name and they will come
-They are smart and easily trained. You can teach them to fetch, stand, sit, etc
-When a rat is happy, it grinds it teeth which sounds like a kitten purring

Like the old saying goes- don't knock it till you've tried it.
