My Birthday, Part 1!

Sorry this post is way late. My birthday was Sunday February 8th, the big 24! On Saturday, Jade and his Dad & Mom took me to Salt Lake. We went to the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo and out to dinner. The hunting expo was huge and it was held at the Salt Palace. This was our second time going and it was just as neat as the first time.

These pictures are a mount of an Alaskan Bear standing straight up. It was huge, Jade is 6' 3" and as you can tell the Bear is quite a bit taller than he is. I have always wanted to go to Alaska and kill a Bear, but if I seen one standing this tall, I would probably be way to scared to shoot it. These pictures are of the Spyder Bull Elk that was taken on Monroe Mountain in September 2008. It was definitely different and really neat to see.
This is a Bald Eagle they were showing as you walk in the door of the Expo. It was neat to see one close up.
These are just some pictures of a Moose and a Deer mount. There were tons of different mounts from Deer, Elk, Moose, Bear, Turkey, Mountain Lion, Cougar, Big Horn Sheep and so on. We had tons of fun at the Expo and loved ever minute of it. If you are a hunter, you would love it. Just make sure you have all day to look, because there is so much to see.
That night we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and it was delicious. It was a very fun environment and there were tons of people there. While you are waiting they have big barrels of peanuts and you just sit there, eat them and then just throw your shells on the floor. My sister, Krysta lives in Draper and met us for dinner.

Mr. Photogenic, NOT!
This is me sitting on a saddle next to our table, while the entire restaurant sang Happy Birthday. I was laughing so hard, I couldn't even look at the camera.
This is Krys and I, and of course the one picture that she isn't pulling a face, I am looking away to see what face she is pulling.
I had a blast at the Hunting Expo and at dinner. Thank you so much Jade, Colleen and Tim. Thanks for meeting us for dinner Krys.
