happy mother's day...yesterday

Saturday was the Block Party at the Museum (to culminate Utah Prehistory Week). I worked for a couple of hours in the gallery, reading stories to kids and giving tours. It was pretty fun. I was almost sad I didn't get to be outside doing one of the booths, because it was such a nice day out. There was a family of Native American dancers who came to put on a show (they're called Morning Star), and they were really good. One of the kids especially was really talented. He finished the show with his hoop dance, where he used 21 hoops to make different formations while dancing. Awesome. After the dancing, I got interviewed about the exhibit by BYU Weekly, so maybe I'll be on TV sometime...

After the Block Party, Eric and I went to dinner at this new restaurant in Orem called Pizzeria 712. It's a cute little place with really eclectic (but delicious!) pizzas. We got one with goat cheese, olives, eggplant, onions, and chili flakes. Yum.

Oh, and on Friday we saw 10,000 BC in the dollar theater. It's a good thing we waited til it was in the dollar theater...that movie was terrible. And I usually can find things to like in really bad movies, so that's saying something. I don't know if it was the narrator or the mammoths (manak?) or the Jamaican accents or the dreadlocks or the screeching bird-dinosaur things in the jungle, or what, but it just wasn't very good.

In other news, Coldplay is coming to Salt Lake in November and Vegas in July...Eric's pushing to go to BOTH of those. We'll see...

I'm sad you didn't like that movie. I liked it, and Jared thought it was alright - but not terrible. Oh well. It's not the first time I've liked something embarrassing, nor will it be the last. Glad the block party was fun. The pizza place sounds cool - how expensive was it?

I've heard good things about Pizzaria 712. I'll have to go check it out! I am happy to get an update on the Pre-History Day celebration. I am sad I missed it! I hope to see you on TV.
