Neal's sister Shelly took us to the Aquarium in Salt Lake. It's a lot smaller then the two they have seen in Atlanta and California but they loved it nonetheless. They got to touch Starfish, watch the Jellyfish, and point out Nemo and Dori. They also had story time while we were there and lots of fun tunnels in the "coral reef" for the boys to run and explore in. For some reason in these pictures Josh refused to smile. Every time I told them to smile he would immediately make a frowny face. So don't believe the picture, everyone (including Josh) had a great time.

Neal had his gallbladder removed.

Neal had gallbladder surgery on Wednesday. Be warned the pictures here are not for those with a weak stomach. (I wonder, does that include Neal now?) Anyway, the surgery went well. It was laparoscopic so Neal has 5 little "pokes" mostly on the right side of his belly. He has been sore and isn't supposed to lift anything for a few weeks. The doctor also took a biopsy of his liver. His enzyme levels were reading high along with his over sized spleen. We won't know a whole lot more about that until Neal meets with the doctor again on Wednesday (20th). He'll go back to work this week and resume as close to normal activity as possible.
