Memorial Day Weekend

We had a busy Memorial Day weekend.

Saturday morning we went up to the Heber Valley Railroad for a "Day Out with Thomas".

Sarah was grumpy at first not wanting to spend her first day of summer vacation riding on Thomas, but once we got there she thought it was pretty fun.

The kids liked the old train car. I was grateful we no longer have to travel the country in something so cramped (I did not realize it was possible to be more crammed in than on an airplane, but this train was pretty tight)

We went for a 20 minute round trip ride. That was long enough for the excitement to wear off.


Sarah got to help out during a magic show. She somehow made her rings get stuck together. She's not sure how she did it!


Sunday evening we put flowers on my grandparents' grave here in American Fork, then Monday morning we visited some of Todd's in Alpine & more of mine in the Salt Lake Cemetery. Then we headed to my parents' house for a late lunch.
The cousins all like to have a water fight. They got soaked.
Mason LOVED climbing an apple tree in the backyard. You can tell my kids only have sticks for trees in our yard. He can hardly wait to go to grandma's again to climb the trees.
All 12 of the cousins on my side with balloons Becky bought for her birthday to give to them.

It was a great kick off to summer!
