Memorial Day 2010 - Emery County

Family!

Memorial day this year was really quite special. Karlee and I tagged along with my sister and her kids to Emery County to visit our Aunts. We had a really good time. We met up with them at the Ferron Cemetery to visit our grandparents (my dad's parents) grave sites. I don't know what it is, but I just love to go to cemeteries. They are such a place of peace and beauty for me. When growing up I can remember my mom telling me that very same thing, that cemeteries were a peaceful place for her. I guess that must be where I get it. Not sure I would enjoy it as much if I ended up there after the sun went down. ha ha ha.

After walking around the cemetery looking at all our extended families grave sites, and then headed to Uncle Carl's farm. What kid doesn't enjoy a good farm with all the animals. Well I guess just my Karlee, she didn't want to touch anything, let alone go and see any animals. She didn't want to get down and walk, which made me flashback to my childhood. While I think I enjoyed looking at the animals, I also remember not wanting to get dirty, thus farms were not where I to be. While at my aunts home, she fixed up a wonderful BBQ lunch for all of us. It was so nice to be able to spend time visiting with our aunts and cousins.

After lunch we stayed a bit longer to visit, which led to some mischievousness: Karlee and her cousin Sadie got a little more comfortable with my aunts dog. They had started to play with, and eating the dogs food. (so totally gross!) After telling both of them to get away from the dogs food, this is what we found: Both Sadie and Karlee bathing themselves in the dogs water. Sadie was helping Karlee, by pouring the dogs water onto Karlee's hair and then matting it down. LOVELY! - It was so GROSS!
