Festival of Colors

Last Saturday Annalise and I drove to the Lotus Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork for the annual Holi Festival. Its a festival to celebrate the coming of Spring, the triumph of good over bad, and love. There is music, chanting and dancing. Everyone buys little bags of colored powder to throw in the air (or mostly on each other) to welcome the new season.

Thanks to GPS errors, we were lost for an hour with Annalise singing Justin Bieber the whole time... (I don't think I will ever be able to listen to JB again) There were thousands of people there, young and old alike. It was crazy.

Last weekend we had our annual family ski trip. It was a blast! All original Spencer kids were there. We stayed right near Main Street so we could walk right to the down town lift, and head out on the slopes. We ate at Cafe Rio and saw Rango one night (great movie). It was so fun all being together. Michael was there too, but didn't make it into any of the pictures.



Kelly and I rented skis one day! We both hadn't skied for 10 or so years. We had so much fun! Dad is a great teacher and he loved showing us the ropes.



The girls! We slept in while the boys headed out early and had fun taking a few runs and getting cocoa at the lodge.



One night I made sushi for EVERYONE. I made about twenty rolls... it was a lot of work, but delicious. Dad was my right hand man in charge of the tempura. He did great! The tempura rolls were the hit of the night.





It was a great vacation and didn't last long enough. Now we are counting down to graduation.

Strawberry Florida

Thursday I got to fly home to take a tour of the VA Hospital in Bay Pines Florida. My number one internship site. The interview went well and it was great seeing the facility.

On the way back Mom and I stopped in Plant City, FL. We visited the famous Parkesdale Farm Market to get some of their World Famous Strawberry Shortcake. It was delicious!


I wish I had some more right now!



Caught Mom mid blink


They even have a strawberry throne. I couldn't resist


Fortunately my body waited until the day after my interview to get the flu. So I spent the next two days being fed soup on the couch from my wonderful Mom.

Now I'm back at Provo still sick and trying to get better.
