So apparently mom now has a blog. Which is an interesting occurrence since she has difficulty accessing her email from any machine but the one at home. Upon creating it, Erin immediately broke in and made a post.

Erin, Sawyer, Mollie and I went up to Rexburg from Friday evening to Saturday night. We left Provo around 6, and arrived at the Days Inn at about 11. We stopped in Pocatello for dinner at Dairy Queen; Mollie's choice. The food was pretty crappy, but the best part was when Mollie asked for sauce to go with Erin's chicken fingers meal -- that costs extra. How much extra? we don't know, that was all the girl said. I guess there must be some kind of massive sauce shortage or something that they have to charge extra for it.

The purpose of the trip was to see Megan perform with the symphony orchestra in their annual Halloween concert. It was fun, though I would have preferred a bit less random talking between songs. The first song was played with a strobe light flashing the entire time (the only light in the room). Now strobe lights can be fun and all; but they get a little obnoxious after about 2 minutes straight. I started playing a game where I'd tried to blink in syncopation with the strobe light so that my eyes would miss the light and be happy to be just sitting in a dark room; or to blink during the dark so that it seemed like the room was always lit. I got it to work a couple of times, but it's trickier than you think.

After the performance we went to dinner at Applebee's with Megan, her boyfriend, Chad, and his younger brother. The most enjoyable part of the meal was watching one of the waiters tie balloons to the aprons of other wait-staff while they weren't paying attention. Then they'd be walking around the restaurant with balloon in tow.
