Memorial Day

Memorial Day is almost like the official start of summer. The weather was perfect this year and so we spent most of the day outside. We started off by meeting Tamara and Brian in Ogden to put out flowers in the cemetery. Amelia enjoyed watering all the flowers that she could while Ashley and Elliot climbed on head stones. We thought it was really funny that there was a leftover carton of strawberries on this head stone.


After the cemetery, we headed down the street to Farr's for ice cream. Amelia got "rainbow" which is really called Playdoh, Ashley had S'mores, Elliot got the have a taste from everyone, Guy had Moose Tracks and I had my favorite, Licorice. Yum!


Then we were on our way to my mom's for a BBQ. We had a little bit of time to kill before it was time to eat so Tamara and Brian set up a net in the backyard so we could play some volleyball and badminton. They volleyball was a little bit flat so it really hurt to hit it, but we still had so much fun. Now that we had worked up an appetite, it was time to eat. Hot dogs and hamburgers with the best buns from Reams, potato salad, strawberry Jell-O salad, chips and drinks. After dinner, we were back on the court to play. Now our problem was that Ashley had taken all the birdies and wouldn't give any of them up. Luckily, Brian was able to sneak one of them away from her so that we could play. We had such a great time laughing at the sweet skills that we all had.
