Salt Lake

Brian and I went to Salt Lake yesterday. It was really fun.

We went to the Hogle zoo which wasn't as good as the woodland park in Seattle but it was great. We saw all kinds of animals like Giraffes (my favorite), Lions, Monkeys, Snakes, Frogs, Cougars, Penguins, Elephants, Bunnies, and all kinds of animals. It was pretty cold but we dressed warm.

This really cool lion drinking fountain at the zoo was so cool but they had already turned off the water for the winter so it didn't work. But I got to stick my head in a lion's mouth.

Brian at "Grandma's House" in "China". I'm not sure what he's wearing but he plays the drum pretty well.

After the zoo we went to temple square and saw the Joseph smith movie in the legacy theater. That movie is so good, I love it! Then we took a tour of the conference center, that place is huge and the roof is cool. I like all the paintings and everything. Then we went to the tabernacle which was tiny but the sister missionaries did a cool thing. They spoke from the pulpit and did a pin drop test and we could hear it from the back row without any microphones. It was pretty awesome.

We ate dinner at applebees which is a classic restaurant that is good anytime even though Brian had never been there. The food was really good and we did get that spinach and artichoke dip that everyone loves.

Then we went and saw Madagascar Escape 2 Africa which is a hilarious movie. If you liked #1 I would recommend seeing #2. It is funny. The whole thing about it is that they build an airplane to try and get back to New York but it crash lands and they end up in Africa and Alex the lion finds his long lost parents. They think it's a great place but then things go wrong and in the end it's all better and they stay in Africa.

I found this person on a bike on the sidewalk on our way to the trolley. It reminded me of the bike racks back home at 4 corners that look like bikes. Oh yeah, and the trolley was so fun, it was kinda like a monorail but cooler. It was free too so we rode it a bunch of times just for fun. It was exciting.

Mike said...

I understand why he likes me but Emily? How could he like Emily? She is such a weirdo. Sometimes I am embarrassed to say we are related.
