It is officially summer and we are ready! We kicked off the hot season with memorial day. It had been a while since we had done anything in Salt Lake so we cruised on up there for the day.
First, we hiked Ensign peak. It was short enough for the kids and beautiful.
Derek, my little brother, and his friend Kim came with us. He is living in SLC for the summer while working at the LDS Conference Center. We are excited to spend a little extra time with him!
Being Memorial Day and all, we headed to the Salt Lake City cemetery. Weird thing is, I love graveyards and I'm always dragging Cameron along with me so this wasn't our first time there. It's one of my favorite places in Utah. It was packed with people but we got a few pictures with a few of our favorite dead people! Up top is Derek with Porter Rockwell. Below is Cameron and Connor with Erastus Snow. Erastus is Cameron's triple great grandpa and Cameron's Dad, Cameron, and Connor all have 'Snow' as their middle names.
A picture I wished we could have taken but didn't was of President Monson. Cameron spotted him first putting flowers on a grave. Of course he was surrounded by three men in black so we thought it better to watch from a distance. It was a highlight of our day to see the prophet of God in person.
Afterwards, we headed to the Church History Museum and we played around at the new Book of Mormon exhibit for kids.
We, of course, visited Jesus. It is interesting to watch how reverent my kids get when they enter this room.
To finish off the day, we headed to Nana's house to swim and have a BBQ. It was a great day!
It's been hot, which satisfies my Vegas blood. We have gotten out the pool, the bikes, and planted our garden. I love this time of year.
To make summer feel more real, we signed Allie up for T-ball. Every Tuesday and Thursday we watch Allie learn how to play ball. Very entertaining!
