We played a Provo/BYU trivia game and the girls were totally kicking the guys trash at first....I don't know what ended up happening!



Brooke and Eric.....Kat and Jon...Rachel and Matt
This was the trivia game Sarah would ask a question like "What was the cheapest date in Provo?" and then whoever grabbed the wooden spoon first got to answer. (By the way the answer is Movies 8, of course)



Brooke and Kat....Jason, Jon, Woods, and Diana Hulme

I can't remember who exactly made what, but Cafe Rio salads were made and they were delicious!!!!!!

Old News...catch up time

I think was the night before Mark Bellisario's birthday. We went out to eat... and now for the life of me I can't remember where it was....Lisa help me out here. All I remember was that it was fun!



That Sunday Lia threw a b-day get together for Mark. Happy belated birthday Mark!

A Day at the San Francisco Zoo

Our friends Jason and Kristine are so good at finding free and cheap fun things to do. The first Wednesday of every month is free for SF residents....I think that's when we went. Correct me if I'm wrong Kristine.



The SF Zoo is so much more lush than the one in SLC. It was really green everywhere with a lot of vegetation.



The gorilla was acting really grumpy. It is so weird how human like they are. From the back when he was walking he just looked like a REALLY hairy guy!



This was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. It's called a Dik-Dik. It was tiny! I think it looks like a cross between a rabbit and a dear.



Jon is as tall as a gorilla is wide.



Jon, Jason, and Kristine



I was chasing this peacock all around to try and make it spread its feathers out, but it never did!



I always wondered what we would look like if we were giraffes.



Kristine, you make a beautiful peacock.



Jason as an eagle.



When I first saw the koala bears I though they were fake, because they weren't moving at all. They are real though. I guess what they do is sit in one place until they have eaten all the eucalyptus leaves and then they move to a new branch. They basically are really lazy and just eat and sleep.



The kangaroos were awesome. I think this is the first time I have ever seen one before. Their tails are so strong. They use it to balance on.





The most expensive cotton candy I have ever bought. But it was worth it.





The penguins were so fun to watch. We came at a good time while they were being fed. They just swallow the fish whole. Some of them ate three or four of them!



I think this is the ugliest animal I have ever seen!



Everybody had a fun time in the insect part of the zoo. It was kind of creepy and I felt like I had things crawling all over me by the time we left.







The prairie dogs were really cute. They all came out to say hi when we walked up.



So I guess a lot of the animals they have at this zoo are animals that they have saved. This eagle was hit by a car and lost her right wing. The zoo saved her. We got to see the zoo lady feed the eagle. She gave her a whole mouse and the eagle ripped it in half. It was kind of gross.



Jon Haynie was having a hard time leaving the ocean. I guess there were really good waves.
