Memorial Day 2008

This has been a weekend we have been planning for months... only to have every single one of our plans go up in smoke.

Originally, this was the GO BIKING IN MOAB weekend. But, due to the fact that it was supposed to rain 3 out of the 5 days we were planning on being there, we canceled the trip.

So, Friday and Saturday we didn't do anything too exciting, just hung out as a family. On Sunday we met Nate, Angie and the girls at Cheesecake Factory for lunch. It's fun to visit with them, it also kind of sucks that they are moving to Pennsylvania in the next couple of weeks...

Plan 2. The guys were all planning on going biking in the Ogden foothills before heading to Grandma Kemp's annual Memorial Day party.

So, I get my bike all ready on Saturday, got the bike rack out on Sunday, then Monday Morning I woke up to this...

It rained even harder on the trip up to the parents' place in Ogden. They have a great view of the mountains where we were planning on biking this morning.... We would have been well into the cloud cover.


At least we all got to get cozy as too many people jammed into Norm's garage, since we could not eat nor even hold the picnic in the front yard like normal, so Norm was gracious to have Julie's sister Christine tell him the party was being held there instead.


Despite the weather, the kids were undaunted, and had to play on Grandma and Grandpa's new play center. Wet slides and swing seats were no matter!


Of course they played a bunch of silly games for prizes, and my favorite prize was Rylan's "I'm A STAR" glasses...



One of the neater things about this holiday is that the Boy Scouts put an American Flag throughout the lawns of the neighborhood, and blowing in the breeze it was rather neat to look at.



All-in-All, even though my biking plans got ruined, it was still a great weekend because I got to spend it with my wonderful family.
