Memorial Day Weekend





We really enjoyed our Memorial Day Weekend! Early Sunday morning, Josh drove us to Salt Lake to visit my father's grave. This was Josh's first freeway driving and he did great! When we left it was barely sprinkling and by the time we got to American Fork it was a downpour! Despite the limited visability, he was calm and didn't seem nervous. He did a great job! Later Sunday evening, we went to visit Grandpa Jackson's grave---he is buried almost next door at the cemetary just across the hillside. We also saw our nephew-in-law's grave, Kimball Herrod. The rain had stopped earlier and it was so beautiful and peaceful to see all the flowers, flags, and people remembering their loved ones. I'm grateful for this holiday to help us remember those dear to us and the sacrifice of those who lost their lives while serving in the military. Monday, Grandma Mimi and John came down and we went to the movie, "Night at the Museum 2" and then had a BBQ with salmon and chicken. Fun!!!
