Oh Canada!

-There are such people as Hutterites and Mennonites. I saw four at the border, and two in the grocery store.
-Most families have little water tanks in their house to drink from.
-Driving in a beemer with Meg made me feel like a pimp.
-The 12-hour drive is NOT possible without music.
-Bring your pillow.
-Meg's family normally drives over to Grandma Saunders'. She lives one street over. Haha.
-Greg and Karina's boys lived up to their reputation of being awesome.
-Carter is adorable! Wide-eyed, tiny ski-slope nose. We all agreed he should star in a cereal-eating commercial.
-According to Thomas, not much to do in Taber but their family makes up for whatever other fun we might have missed out on.
-Meg's family has a massive flatscreen.
-Everyone can be on the computer/laptop at any given period of time.
-Gorgeous views at Watherton.
-We have tried and tested the battery life on the ipod and ipod music player.
-"Ey", "Sorry", "Bag"
-Meg brought to our attention the fact that no one on campus can wear flipflops or shorts. Meg had capris and we were all in flipflops.
-We saw the Logan, Rexburg and Cardston temples.
-Don't say a different major than the one on your I-20.
-Oil rigs and fields.
-Driving through the Montana mountain passes. Beautiful!
-Butterhorns. And the marshmallow/peanutbutter/ricekrispy brownie treat Ruthy made.
-Memorable Conversations:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex (as he kills someone on the video game): "VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!"
Maxwell: "It's VICTORY."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Alex mentions something about how he has a turbo-boost on his spacecraft.)
Austin: How do you go faster?
Alex: Y.
Austin: Because I want to get a turbo boost.
Alex: Y!
Austin: So I can go faster!!!
Alex: Y!!!! (The button "Y" on the game console)

Eli (to me): Come watch me play.

Here are the visuals from the Canada trip. Part 1: This is Friday and Saturday. We left Provo at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday night and drove up to Logan to stay at Meg's friend Kimberly's parents'. We left at 6:30 a.m. Friday morning and drove to Rexburg where we had a pancakes and eggs breakfast at Jillian's (Meg's old companion). Then we went to the BYU-I campus so Meg could meet up with Mower and then we were on our way to Taber. Meg's mom brought Deb and I to Waterton Saturday morning. It was beautiful. After, we went to get Meg and her dad, grabbed a bite, and then went over to Grandma's and chilled for the rest of the night.
