Happy Memorial Day!

We had a full day today.  Justin's family always visits graves on Memorial Day.  I never did this growing up, but I love this tradition.  We visited Justin's mom's grave in Kaysville, his Grandma and Grandpa Allen (his mom's parents) in Hooper, and his Great Grandma and Grandpa Hale (his Grandma King's parents) in Ogden.

The cemeteries are amazing on Memorial Day.  There are flowers and flags everywhere.  It is really beautiful.  We even heard a bagpipe player in the cemetery in Ogden.  It was also fun to hear stories about Justin's family, especially the Hale's, since I didn't know much about them.

We had a tri family cookout for dinner.  The tri family consists of the Kings, the Nielsons, and the Van de Merwes.  The Nielsons used to live next door, and the Van de Mewres live behind Justin's family.  We ate a lot of great food... it was so much fun!  Emme found a new toy that she loved.  Look out... there's a new sheriff in town!

Emme also found a new friend, Jace Nielson.  She really liked him (maybe because he was the closest one to her age).  He was also really good at sharing with her.  It was really cute to watch.  We had a great Memorial Day!
