Memorial Day Weekend

We needed to go up to Ogden the Friday before Memorial Day anyway, so we decided to head a little further north and spend the night in Logan. It was a short trip, but still nice to go somewhere. My mom was able to come with us, too, and we were glad to have her along. We ate at The Crepery when we got to Logan, a recommendation from my brother and his wife. It was very yummy.

Saturday was rainy much of the day so we decided to drive to Bear Lake, where none of us had been (or at least remembered going!). Logan Canyon is soooo beautiful and green and lush right now. I loved the rock jutting up through the trees as well as the raging river. Very beautiful! Somehow we didn't end up with any pictures of Bear Lake! I was surprised at how big it is.

Later we drove to Hyrum where Nathan has grandparents and great-grandparents buried. It was good to get more familiar with them and see their graves.

Fun swing at The Crepery. This little girl was NOT a happy
camper here. We had to take turns taking her outside.


Of course we had to drive by the Logan Temple, too.



Logan Canyon--the photo just doesn't do it justice


This restaurant is where Nathan's parents
had their wedding reception.


She can't resist the pinwheels

Mom, Me, S, and Nathan at the Hyrum Cemetery
(a beautiful cemetery, by the way)

Lunch with Grandma in Brigham City on the way home.
(silly girl)

Sunday night I had the great idea that we should all sleep down in our newly finished basement. Nathan got S to sleep and when I finally came down to go to bed, someone was sleeping in MY bed! Rather than disturb her and lose sleep, I just went back upstairs to my bed and had a good night's sleep. Oh well!

This is where she was supposed to sleep.
And, don't be fooled, that cutie is not sleeping
in this picture!

On the actual Memorial Day we spent some time working at home and later visited my dad's grave. Just a few days previously his headstone had been placed on his grave. We were all glad to have it there before Memorial Day. It's been 4 months since he's been gone. It's weird that he's not here. I hope he will help us find a baby to adopt.

more pinwheels...


The view from Dad's grave. I love it. It is a very peaceful place.

Note: I chose not to share pictures of Dad's headstone to protect our privacy.
