Weekend

We didn't bring along our camera, but we had an awesome and extremely fun weekend. Friday, Steven and I just chilled out (which is always fun), and Saturday.... Well, Saturday was quite the eventful day!!! First, we got to sleep in (sort of). Then, we planned with Steven's mom and 3 youngest siblings some fun adventures. We went out to lunch at Olive Garden, which was delicious. Followed by the Body Exhibit!(You can Google it if you don't know much about it; I'm too lazy right now)

Oh my gosh, can I just say two things?
#1 I was completely disguisted at the idea of seeing bodies that were real and questioned really going.
#2 It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.

Indeed, at first I was completely grossed out, and at the end not much had changed. Seeing how complicated our bodies really are is just literally "awesome." Steven has taken quite a bit of anatomy, so it was amazing going with him because we got the 4-1-1 that the signs didn't give.

The coolest thing I liked, was the area showing about lungs. In between a healthy lung and a diseased lung from smoking, was a tall, clear box with an opening. What was at the bottom? Cigarettes people have dropped in there saying they were going to quit.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to stick around long enough to slowly walk around getting all the details, Steven needed to go count some cells for his internship (yahoo...).

We went out to dinner with his great-aunt and great-uncle for dinner and went to their house for games. We played "And it Came to Pass." I want this game! So fun! So unique! Then we played Origins. It reminds me of Balderdash except you have to make up the origin of a well-known phrase like "Don't bite off more than you can chew" instead of making up a definition to a not so well-known word. Then, we had some ice cream (vanilla topped with caramel and nuts-yum!) and talked. We drove home. Well, I drove and Steven took a nap. He was REALLY tired, but who can blame him? We had a spectacular day!
