Boating at Newton Reservoir

Last Friday, our ward had an all-day activity at Newton Reservoir, west of Smithfield. Our bishop brought his boat, and many of the ward members got the chance to do some wakeboarding being pulled behind the boat. I didn't try that, but I will the next time we have a day at Newton in July. It was the first time I've ever been boating, and the first time I've been on a boat since the mission. The weather was perfect, and the water a cool 70 degrees to keep us cool. I'm glad the weather is finally getting warmer, and hope to have more fun in the sun as the summer rolls on.

Logan has a zoo.

So last Saturday, my friends and I were discussing what we could do to help pass the time. One of them mentioned that we should go to the zoo. I've lived in Logan for two years, and had no idea that a zoo existed here in Cache Valley. So, we all went to the zoo. It's not a huge one, but it's pretty good. There's no admission fee, but people who come are encouraged to make a small donation to keep the zoo going. Most of the displays were of birds, but there were a few other animals to gaze at. We also got to feed some of the ducks, and got a kick out of trying to get the attention of some of the other animals. All in all, it was great.
