Memorial Day Weekend

The boys with Grandpa and Grandma Richards

The boys with Great Grandpa and Grandma Alexander

For Memorial Day, our original plan was to go camping. Then we looked at the weather and pictured ourselves sitting in our trailer while it rained or was super cold. We still wanted to do something fun and get away, so we went to Utah to visit Dustin's family. We got in late Friday night and Saturday we went to visit Dustin's dad and step-mom. We hadn't seen them for a couple years so it was good to catch up and the boys had fun getting to know them.

Later that night we had dinner with Dustin's brother and his family and his Mom and step-dad. The boys LOVE their cousins and were so excited to see them. They had a great time. Sunday we went to church and then Dustin's brother and family came over for dessert and they were going to pick Britton up for a sleep-over. Unfortunately, the kids were playing in the back yard and thought it would be fun to throw rocks over the fence into the neighbors yard (and when I saw rocks, I mean small boulders. The small rocks were the size of baseballs). Well, Britton ended up breaking the neighbors window and that ended the sleep-over plans. The kids had to go over to the neighbor's house and apologize and clean up the yard. Plus, Britton will have to pay for the window. It was a bummer of a lesson to learn.

On the way home tonight we stopped and visited my grandparent's grave site. The boys love cemetery's. We want to go back and clean up the site. We didn't have a shovel or anything like that with us, but we'll be sure to bring them next time we visit.
