We sure enjoyed the holiday weekend this year. We started out in St. George with Bri's mom on Friday. It was a good visit, especially since we hadn't seen her since James was just a couple weeks old. Brian got a few things done around the house (such a good son), and on Sunday we were able to attend Sacrament meeting in an assisted living home, because Mom was invited to play the accompaniment music for them that day. That was definitely interesting! Brian and I said the opening and closing prayers, and they had speakers from the area (good talks).
Then after lunch, we headed north to Salina, where my grandpa (dad's dad) and Faye live six months out of the year. There are always good times in Salina! We were able to meet up with my parents and JenEric. We also got to see my dad's sister, Brenda, and some of her kids, so that was nice, especially since we don't see them often.
(Whit and Tay slept well at the Best Western.)
Monday began with a breakfast put on by the Lion's Club. We ate lots of good pancakes and eggs, and then got on our way to Wayne County for the visiting of the cemeteries.
My grandma (dad's mom) is buried in Bicknell. It's a beautiful place, as far as cemeteries go, so I enjoy visiting there. We also drove around Loa and Fremont, and I was able to show Brian where Grandpa lived as a little boy, and my dad recalled memories of his childhood, visiting his grandfather in those towns. Vardell is always good for a trip down memory lane - and I usually appreciate and hang on every word.

We went back to Salina and had lunch before heading home.
Thank goodness for portable DVD players! What did our parents do?

I was glad to spend the weekend with family and begin the summer with a tradition.
