Memorial Day Weekend

My family has a cabin up Salina Canyon, up at Accord Lake.  My family planned a trip for everyone to come up Memorial Day Weekend.  It's so peaceful and quiet up there I wish we could get away more often, but it's a good 3 hour drive from our house.  This was a fun weekend because all of my siblings were able to come! It had been a year and a half since we have all been together.  Here are some candid shots from the weekend.

 Carson and their dog Duke

Jason, Grandpa Kelly, and Boston loading up the wagon

They were cutting down trees to have fire wood on hand, this is such a project and those boys are some hard working boys.

My Mom brought her cat Lucy, so having a dog & a cat up there was entertaining

Jason and my Dad pulling down trees while Michael was chain sawing them down.

Crew just woke up from his nap and wanted to play in the wagon too

Crew & Boston

It's so peaceful up there.  The view from our cabin.  I love it.

Jason climbing up a ladder to come give Crew a kiss while he was still working.

Dylan and Crew

Crew just looks silly.

And of course he has to drink whatever Dad is drinking...

Crew was obsessed with this tractor.  Sadly it broke down the first day while they were plowing out the driveway.

They had a surprise Birthday party for me, Kamryn and Brooklyn.  My sister made this chocolate cake with chocolate chip cookie dough frosting.  It was divine.  My Mom made a white cake, with cool whip and cream cheese frosting, and fresh strawberries on top.  It was so yummy, and the motto up at the cabin is "Everything is calorie free" so we can eat as much as we want!

The next few pictures are some that I have edited a little bit.  I am still learning how to use my camera and edit them.

JJ and David trying to be all serious!

Topher & Whitney, Kinley was inside sleeping.

Carolyn and Dylan, Dan had to stay home to work.

My Whole Family... we are dirty, but hey we are in the mountains.

All my siblings.

My cute family.  I am 34 weeks pregnant and about to pop!

Monday morning on our way back to St George we stopped at the Richfield Care Center to see Grandma Carol.  She won't remember we even saw her, but I am always happy when we stop to see her because I keep feeling like it will be our last visit with her.  Crew wasn't very happy on her lap but at least we got a pic of them together.

Then we stopped at Grandpa Don's grave site.  The cemetery was decorated so pretty for Memorial Day.  I miss this man so much.

When I think of someone who showed unconditional love, I think of my Grandpa Don.  He was such a role model for me.  I believe he is up in Heaven now just hanging out with our sweet baby boy who will be joining us one of these weeks.  So grateful families can be together forever.

Then of course, we had to hit up the Ideal Dairy for our Ideal Dairy slush and our fresh strawberry shake, then came back home to St George.  It was a fun weekend and hopefully my whole family can get together again sooner than a year and a half!
