Memorial Day Weekend

We had such a fun Memorial Day weekend!  Kara and the boys were out of town, so we got to spend a lot of time with Ryan.  On Monday morning, we went to pick him up for our day of adventures, and no matter how much knocking, door bell ringing, or calling we did, no one would answer.  Luckily, I knew the code to open their front door.  I was starting to get a little worried.  Ryan is usually very punctual. I opened the door and it didn't look like anyone was home.  So I wandered up to his room to find him sawing logs.  It was like 9am!!  Who does that?!  Now that is the right way to spend a holiday!

While Ryan got ready, we played in the front yard.

 Our first stop was the Springville City cemetery to visit several of the graves of my ancestors.  I had never been there, so it was really neat.  I love cemeteries!  That's maybe a little creepy, but I feel like they hold so many stories.  It is fascinating.

 

 

We ran into my mom's cousin and her family at one of the head stones.

Here's Porter with my Great Grandpa and Grandma Wright

On the way to our next stop, Porter took a snoozer!

We drove to Scofield Reservoir to check out the house we are going to be staying at in August for our Taylor family reunion.  The house looks awesome and we can't wait!  There isn't much near the house, but there is a little gas station with a convenience store that sells some awesome beef jerky!

Then we decided to explore the area more.  We stopped for lunch at Electric Lake.  It was incredibly windy, and not super warm, but it's always a dream to be outside and in the mountains!

 

 

We ended up being near Spring City, UT which is where several of James' ancestors are buried, so we stopped there too.  We also found out that Orson Hyde is buried there too.

It wouldn't be a true road trip without a stop at the Red Barn for some ice cream!

We had so much fun!  After dinner and after putting Porter to bed, we stayed up way too late playing Wii Sports Resort just like we were little kids again.  Every weekend should be a 3-day weekend!
