Memorial Weekend


We had a fun, family-filled Memorial Weekend. Friday was Nicole's open house and Saturday was the wedding. It was a privilege to be in the temple to see this wonderful couple sealed together. The ceremony was tender and everyone was so happy.




 After Nicole and Jordan's wedding dinner, we didn't want the family togetherness to stop, so we saw the 10 o'clock Avengers movie with a group of family. After dreaming about Hulk smashing things all night, I taught YW the next day (where I told the Laurels all about the wedding and was able to use it as an example of the importance of temples). Then we had a birthday celebration for Nate and Alisha's 6 year-old Kylie that evening. I didn't break out the camera for that party. Instead I took pictures of our Mount Grandeur hike the next day. The beautiful weather inspired about half of the valley to head for the canyons, so it really was a "veritable freeway" on the trail.








 These cute cousins loved chasing lizards and even caught a baby one.

The weekend was capped off by a barbecue at Brian and Sharla's cabin. Good food and great family all weekend--summer's perfect beginning!
