Memorial Day Weekend

 We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!   The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Jon didn't have to work so much of it!  Poor guy!

The weather was perfect though and the kids & I spent a ton of time outside.   On Saturday, we went to Lagoon.   We gave the kids season passes for Christmas and they LOVE it.   If you ask Hailey (who is 2) what she wants to do, she always replies "goon."  

We got to Lagoon when it opened at 10 a.m.    The bigger kids went on rides together (including a friend of Jack's who we met there) and I took the little girls on rides.   We met up at noon - ate a picnic lunch - and then rode more rides.   Jack's friend stayed with us too for the day.  Jon woke up from sleeping and got to Lagoon around 3.   He brought in KFC with him, so we ate that for dinner and stayed until about 8:30 that night.  Perfect, perfect weather!

On Sunday, again while Jon was working, we went to our Primary, came home and rested and then went to the cemetery to visit my Grandpa Clyde's grave.   Last year we looked and looked for it, only to find out I had the section wrong.  This year, we found it right away.   Hannah & Hailey were asleep in the car, but here are pictures of the other kids.  










Then we went to Sacrament Meeting at my parent's ward.  William White just got home from his mission and Amelia White is getting ready to leave.  It was a great meeting and then we hung out at my parent's house with Mike.  

Then, we went to Lindsay Garden's for dinner with all the Olsen families!  Again, it was such a beautiful night and we had a great time.  After dinner, we all headed to the Salt Lake Cemetery to visit my dad's parent's graves. 



On Monday, Jon worked again and I headed to Lagoon with the kids again.  They are all so, so good, so it's easy.  The weather again was perfect and the lines weren't very long.   On the way home, we stopped at Rich & Misty's for a BBQ!  So delicious!  It was a great way to end the very fun weekend we had!

When did all your kids get so big?! I feel like they've all grown since I saw them last. Can't wait to see you on Sunday!

Glad you had a nice Memorial Day...sounds lovely.

Cute pictures. The Lagoon passes would probably be something my kids would love--maybe one of these summers!
