Corey's family and Memorial day

Memorial Day is always so much fun, and steeped in Tradition... at least since 2006, when Mike and I as newlyweds started visiting the gravesites of my relatives in Idaho (wish we could visit Mike's as well). Corey and his family came up on Saturday before Memorial day to spend some time with Mor-mor. We enjoyed the weekend thoroughly, and the kids had a ball together. Kimball didn't want to eat his dinner on Sunday night and Elena was trying to persuade him to eat, I love this picture!
The kids enjoyed their home-made popsicles, as you can tell.

We had a long day of driving on Monday. We traveled from Pocatello to Shelley to Victor to Rigby to Idaho Falls and then back home to Pocatello. We left at 11:00 and got back at 8:30pm.

Here is a pic of my Uncle Jim's grave.

We couldn't help but stop off at the corner of Hwy 26 and Hwy 31 in
Swan Valley for some square ice cream... thanks to my Grandma
for introducing that to us:)

Traveling in style

We sat Brandon on my Mor-mor's grave and he was all smiles

We were headed towards IF after our long journey and I was bored, so I started singing a song and Kimball turned to me put is hand over my mouth and said "Please turn that sound off". I didn't know I was that bad!

Afterwards, we had a fun time at my Grandma's celebrating her birthday. The food was yummy, the company delightful, and the weather... well not so fun but we had to have s'mores anyways on my Grandpa's new fire pit. Mor-mor was a big help to Kimball
I love my Grandma, and was glad to celebrate her birthday with her. She is awesome!
And last but not least, here is our bruised and battered one year old. He had a rough few days which included falling off the slide face first into the rocks, falling on a rock in the back yard and gashing his face, 5 minutes later falling on the concrete in the driveway and scraping his knee, and that night at Grandma's, falling outside and gashing his lip open. At the end of the day he was tuckered, and fell asleep soon after we started our trip back home.

Can't wait for next years Memorial Day adventures!!!
