Memorial Day Weekend

We were able to spend Memorial Weekend in Duchesne, UT with much of Brad's extended family to attend the dedication of a new veteran's memorial.  On the way, we made a few stops and made a mini-vacation out of it.
First stop was Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon.
  
Next we stopped for some bowling & dinner in Heber City

Aunt Kathy was nice enough to let us sleep in her trailer while visiting.  This may have been the boys favorite part of the trip.  They love to camp!  

On second thought, maybe it was the donuts.  They obviously love donuts!

Taking a walk around Duchesne.  I sort of love this picture.

Showing some patriotism for the memorial dedication. 

Brad's Uncle Rod spoke at the dedication and gave a beautiful tribute to veteran's.  You can read some of his words here: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865603902/Duchesne-dedicates-new-memorial-to-countys-veterans.html?pg=all

Afterwards we had a family barbecue, visited the family graves at the cemetery, and checked out cousin Ryan's farm.  


It was a great weekend- maybe a new Memorial Day tradition!

Riding the Train with Papa

Papa Urry visited for a long weekend in April and while he was here, he took Owen on his first train ride.  (Aunt Taryn went too.)  They rode Trax up to Temple Square and got lunch, checked out the visitor's centers, and then headed back.  Owen talks about it all the time!  He loved it. 









Papa also spent a little time with Porter.  I love this picture of them together.  I am very grateful that my boys have 4 grandparents (Grammy, Papa H, Mimi, & Papa U) who love spending time with them and are always thinking of fun things to do together.
