...in case anyone was wondering. We don't have internet anymore, so all the internet surfing I do is during work. So I try not to do to much surfing! Question for all you expert bloggers - how do you make a video/slideshow of pictures?
We will hopefully have internet access soon, and update more often!

Zion & its Opposite
The first weekend in April Joe & I were able to go to St. George and enjoy a relaxing weekend with Ben (Joe's brother) & Stephanie. The weather was a definite improvement over Logan, which wasn't hard since it had been snowing every morning. Friday it was fairly windy and looked like it was going to rain so we decided to go to Las Vegas. It was pretty windy down there, but not as much rain. We walked around for 10 hours before we all admitted we were beat, and then we headed back to St. George. I had huge blisters on every one of my toes, and was very happy to be done! The next day we went to Zion National Park, quite the peaceful opposite of Las Vegas. It was chilly but beautiful! here are a few pictures:
There is a $100 fine for feeding the animals, but judging on the friendliness of this squirrel I bet they still get fed! All the squirrles would come up, and give a "begging" look!
Car ride to Vegas. Joe timed the camera to take a picture, but didn't get him in it!
In front of the Bellagio waiting for the water show to start. But they canceled it do to the winds! I was very sad.
It took Joe & I a few minutes to realize that we weren't outside shopping when we saw the ceiling!
Las Vegas at night was beautiful & ugly at the same time. The lights & buildings are all unique and pretty, but there were a lot of people who were drunk/drinking, smoking, and trying to give you cards. Overall, it was a very fun trip!

Bonnie and I had fun this weekend when my boss called me up and asked us to go flying with him. I was in the middle of some tedious reports and thought it would be a nice reprieve. It took Bonnie a little convincing but she too had fun once it was all said and done.
His plane is a little two seater, it was a 'cozy' fit. The average air speed was about 150 mph. It was a great day to be out, clear skies, but bumpy around 6000 ft. Bonnie went first, then it was my turn.
We both did same tour, about 30 minutes each, over Cache Valley We flew over USU's Campus as well as the Logan Temple. Then out toward Hyrum Dam and also Cutler Dam where Rocky Mountain Power has a decent size energy station. Both Bonnie and I flew the plane, although Bonnie was more of the hands-off look around type, but I enjoyed flying and ended up flying about 15 minutes.
It's interesting to see things from a "birds-eye" veiw, Logan is really a concentrated place. in less than 2 minutes we were out of the city and well on our way to Hyrum.
