Memorial Day Weekend

We had a good Memorial Day Weekend. It was really rainy. Sometimes that just doesn't seem fair. The weekend before, I had to work but it was 80 degrees outside. This last weekend, I had off but it was cool and super wet. So ladies and gentlemen, don't worry. I work this weekend, so it should be nice!!!

We took flowers to the Rexburg Cemetery for Jeff cousin who passed away in 1995 due to cancer. Jeff's aunt lives in Minnesota and so that is something we do every year. She orders the flowers and we pick them up and and take them to the cemetery. It's not a big deal at all because it presents the opportunity to explain to the kids what Memorial Day is all about. On Sunday, we went to the Parker Cemetery to visit some more family markers there.

Of course on Monday, more rain, which made it really hard to be able to play. So I took the kids to the local entertainment hub in Rexburg, (Yes, we do have one) and we went bowling. I think it was their first time bowling. They had so much fun. (Sorry to report, I forgot my camera. There would have been great pictures.) Dylan came out champion with 97, Taylor a close second with 90, Jared scored an amazing third with 80, and Melissa in last place with a disappointing 67. The kids had the bumpers and mom didn't. I hadn't bowled since before I met Jeff. We still all had a great time. It was so funny to see the kids jump up and down with their success and high five each other and give each other hugs. Jared would sit down next to the fowl line and have the ball between his legs and push the ball then quickly stand up and clap, yelling "ball, ball."

After bowling we went to Broulims and got some 'Take-n-Bake' pizzas and some ice cream and continued the party at home.
