Memorial Weekend

We headed down to SLC on Saturday morning.  Saturday was just spent playing and having fun at grandma's.  On Sunday we went to American Fork and visited Emma and all the relatives we have at the cemetery.  Afterwards Jay and Kaylani invited us to their house to have a barbeque.  The boys had fun playing on the tramp and helping with the chickens.
Monday was a full day of fun.  We went to take flowers to great-grandpa and had ice cream at Iceberg.  Then we went up to the copper mine.It was a free day and so the place was packed.  It took us a little while to get up to the mine so we didn't get to spend too much time there.  After that we went back to grandma and grandpa's for a barbeque and more cousin fun.  It was a jam packed weekend  but we loved every minute of it. 
I am grateful for a holiday that allows us to reflect on all that our ancestors have done for us.  I am grateful I have had this as a tradition in my life.  It has helped me truly get to know these people and love them.  I know they are watching over my baby girl and taking good care of her until I can be with her.
