It's like a lion and a tiger mixed...bred for its skills in magic.

I guess it all started with my weird work experience on Friday when a guy resembling Napoleon Dynamite actually unintentionally tried to hit on me using a very similar line from the movie. Maybe you remember the "I like your sleeves. They're real big" part. Yeah. Well Mitch thought it was hilarious, and wanted to watch Napoleon Dynamite after hearing about it. So Tuesday night we watched it, and Mitch made a passing comment about the liger that Napoleon draws, do they really exist??

Of course I was shocked, how do you not know about ligers? They’re only one of the coolest things ever!!! With the Monte L Bean Museum within a 5 minute drive, I decided that he had to experience them for himself. So we went. And there I showed him Shasta, the long-deceased stuffed liger who is famous worldwide for being the longest-living liger in captivity (the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake, to be exact), 25 years!!! We also walked around the whole museum, and looked at the other weird animals. I also made him do a scavenger hunt to see which of us could find the animals quickest. I won. Hahaha.

Lions and Tigers (liger)


and Bears, Oh my!! (That's Mitch's scared face)

Are you ready for some football?

Last year my dad and brothers and I started a new "family tradition" of going to the armed forces bowl on New Years. This was our second year, and it was a lot more fun this time since we actually showed up early and got to look at all the sweet military stuff before the game. It was a good game too..air force dominated.
