Extraordinary Friendships!

The last little bit we have been busy with good friends. The first of the month started off with dinner at the BYU cafeteria with some friends who are hall advisers down there. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures, but Braxton still had a great time running around with their girls. Thanks for playing with us Dave, Kiersten, Avery, and Emma!

Following that Kent and I hosted a "How to Host a Murder Party." It was a lot of fun to dress up and serve them, but I agree with one of our friends that next time Kent and I need to actually be able to play the game. It was just that we had already played this game twice and since we knew the end result we figured it wouldn't be too fair. The premise of the game is that you have to figure out who killed "Rock N' Roley" from the class of 1954. The setting is the high school reunion. If anyone wants to do this let me know and I will be happy to let you borrow the game.

The little ones
I think we all had a great time! I look forward to doing one again with some of the others couples who weren't involved in this round. It was a lot of fun to take the night to become someone else!

The other event that I have pictures from is our trip to the zoo on Friday. We were invited to go with Corby and Jen and their kids. It was only Braxton and I, but we had a good time. The weather was perfect. It was cool and overcast, but not cold. To start things off we took a ride on the zoo train.
Braxton loved seeing all the animals, but he was so cute watching the elephants.

I was able to get him to sit on the bronze tiger. The elephant exhibit has an elephant that he still refuses to get near! I have no idea who the kid next to him is. lol


Braxton was sitting in the gorilla's lap and it was the cutest picture, but one second before I snapped it he decided he'd had enough and I never got that picture back. Bummer!


At least he would go on the elephant slide.

Thanks for inviting us Jen and Corby. It was a good day to spend at the zoo!
