Memorial Weekend

We had grand ambitions to go somewhere for Memorial Weekend...but it just didn't happen. I think I'm too tired to want to pack up everything for three kids and then pay to not get any sleep. So we opted for the zoo on Saturday. Garrett was so excited to see the new Zoorassic Park and had been counting down the days until it opened.

It was so busy but we had a great time just the same.

Jon hasn't been to the zoo since he was a kid so Garrett and Rylee were anxious to show him EVERYTHING!

Monday we went with Shellie, Jeremy, Madi and Jaden to see Kung Fu Panda 2.

We waited in line for almost an hour to ensure good seats...it paid off.

Austin's first movie experience.

The girls made hot chocolate back at Nana's. Why? Because in Utah on Memorial Day it can be 90 degrees or 50 degrees. This day was rather chilly.

Our sweet niece and nephew.

For dinner we went to Mom and Dad's for a barbeque and then visit the cemetery. Mom had little bits of info for our relatives and pictures to show the grandkids who we were talking about and it was really nice. My kids love the cemetery on Memorial Day, they could have walked around for hours looking at all the pretty flowers and finding interesting etchings on the headstones...such as the actual Parker's Drive In building on Mr. Parker's headstone!
