Memorial Day 2013

We got a jump-start on visiting the graves on Saturday.  The original plan was to pick up Dave's dad and take him to the cemeteries with us. As we were driving to his house we got a text that he had fallen and was being taken to the ER.  He ended up having a broken arm, just below his shoulder replacement pin.  Sad. 

 

While he was in the ER waiting for an on-call orthoped he said he wanted us to go put flowers on some of the relatives graves for him.  He will most likely be having surgery this week sometime.

On Monday, we got to ride in Ash and Jud's motor home with them.  We all went up to Cache Valley to visit some more graves and visit with my side of the fam.

 

 

My parent's grandchilden who were at the cemetery that day.  This is probably less than half of their total grandkids. 

Brigs got a diaper change on the lawn.

After the cemetery we all went to River Heights Park, just down the street from where my dad grew up.  We had a picnic under the bowery.

There is a great playground there.  The kid in the picture on the right was telling James and Jack that if they stayed in this imaginary lemonade stand all day they would probably get rich.  (We all had some of their "lemonade", paying them with wood chips)

Dave, Alex and Andrew enjoyed a little tennis.

On the ride home I let the boys use my tablet to play Angry Birds Star Wars.

When we got back, Ashley and Jud hosted a cook-out at their house.  Holly, who had to work at the clinic all day, and her family came as well.  I forgot to get any pictures of it.  But it was great. I loved this day!
