A couple weeks ago we headed to Utah for my brother's wedding. It was the first time my family had all been together in about 2 1/2 years. We decided to do a little sightseeing around Salt Lake that was different from Temple Square. We went to the Red Butte Gardens at the University of Utah after eating lunch at the Red Butte Cafe (where I promptly devoured a huge roast beef sandwich au jus! I was starving due to having only eaten a little bowl of cereal at 5:15 am and a measly bag of peanuts and tiny bag of pretzels on the plane.) None of us had been to the garden before. It was so pretty there and smelled amazing!

of course you knew Jacob had to do a silly pose at least once :)
We also went to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. It was actually a really nice aquarium. We saw jellyfish, sharks, an octopus, and the tiniest and cutest dwarf seahorses I'd ever seen! We also got to touch stingrays and starfish.
Their newest exhibit is the gentoo penguins and they were so fun to watch. I could've stood there for hours just watching them swim and jump out of the water. This was the best picture I took of one b/c they move so fast!
Later we went to see Will & Heather's apartment and swim at their pool and relax in the hot tub. The next afternoon we helped Heather's family get the church ready for the wedding reception. Here are some of the guys working on stringing the lights and wire together.

We didn't finish up with the decorating until 11 or 11:30 that night, but it was the prettiest gym reception I've seen! I'll put pictures up with my post of the wedding.
