Memorial Day 2011

Memorial Day found us enjoying time with my family. On Saturday we went four-wheeling--Nich had to take his new toys out--out on the west side of Utah Lake. It was chilly and rainy for most of the day, but you can't go four-wheeling and not have fun. (warning! Picture overload ahead)

Ryan explaining the finer points of life to his cousin Tyson.

Spencer just chillin'.

The tie-downs kept getting knocked off the trailer and getting in the dirt...

"Haaaaeeeey" ;) Grandma explains that dirt ruins the tie-downs and that they have to stay up out of the dirt...


Spencer was extra helpful and MADE SURE the tie-downs stayed clean. So funny. Grandpa and Spencer kept having a little war where Gpa would unwrap them and Spencer would come along and get frustrated that someone undid all of his hard work.






Gotta catch up on the good stuff.


The goggles were slightly too big...

On Monday we went to a fun bounce house where the kids had a blast!



Spencer doing a flip. (Have you ever tried taking a picture of a kid doing a flip--inside a bouncey pen? Not the easiest thing I tell you.)


They had a monkey mascot that came to say hi to the kids. Caleb LOVED him and wouldn't leave him alone. It was actually kind of funny because there weren't a lot of kids around so we just let Caleb enjoy being there. Every time the monkey turned around, there was adoring Caleb.

That night brought fun and games--like Quelf. It's a little like Charades, Curses, and Cranium. So much fun but make sure you have tissues on hand because you are gonna laugh until you cry.

"Hear ye, Hear ye..."

We had a great time with my family through out the weekend. It was nice to be able to spend so much time with everybody, especially knowing that our time with them was limited with our move looming on the horizon. Fortunately we got to see them for another great weekend before we took off to Indiana.
