We had a big group for Memorial Day this year! It was a gorgeous day. The kids had fun putting pinwheels and flags on the graves. We showed Breonna around since it was her first time. The wheel of death has lost all of its boards, but we gave it a whirl anyway. We had hanging contests on the monkey bars and Karlton's family dazzled us with their gymnastics feats. We had yummy burgers at Polar Bear. We love this tradition.
It was just Karlton's family and me that went to Extravaganza from our family this year. But it was a good one! The kids had been talking about swimming in the pool for weeks, they were so excited!
A few sweet notes from some Primary kids. The first one is from Anders. He handed this to me as he walked up to the podium to sing with the rest of the Primary on Mother's Day. So sweet! The rest are from the Torgerson family whose four kids are all in Primary, and we took them rock hounding one day too.
We had a very special visit from Kori over Mother's Day weekend! We were able to get together with everyone else for dinner one night. We went down to Smithfield for Kori to take Karlton's family pictures. We hiked and watched movies and hung out and it was super fun to have Kori here for a few days. Before dropping her off to the airport, we went bra shopping! We also saw a couple of moose in the canyon.
My friend Chris and I have been saying for a year that we need to do something for our 60th birthdays, and we decided to do a little trip to St. George! It was super fun. Chris and I are each trying to do 60 things we've never done before during this year, and we managed to check off a few on our trip. Some of our new things include hiking Aspiration Point, drinking a boba smoothie, going to the Red Cliffs temple, buying something from a pawn shop, eating Peruvian food, and placing a lock on Lover's Gate (in honor of our husbands of course :) We also hiked every morning and sat by the pool with our books every afternoon. Thanks Chris for a great time!
