Memorial Weekend

For Memorial Weekend Jared's sister Angela and family came to visit. In her family there is her husband Ryan, their two kids Kathleen and Brandon.

We got up on Saturday morning and went to downtown Salt Lake. We visited temple square and saw the new Joseph Smith movie (well, Jared only saw half of it, he was out in the hall for the other half). Here are pictures of that.

Ang's kids love trains, so we took trax down to the Gateway and went to the Planetarium. Here is a picture of Xander on Jared on the trax.
Sunday we made a BIG turkey dinner (Jared got really sick and was throwing up, so he didn't get any). Here is a picture of us all eating. Yummy!
On Monday we had a BBQ (what would Memorial weekend be without a BBQ). Here are pictures of that. Jared and Xander

After lunch Ang and Ryan left to go home. Xander sure misses Kathleen. He cried and cried when they left, so I went to their blog and pulled up a picture of Kathleen, and he stopped crying. When I put the picture away, he started crying again. He sure misses her.

We had a blast while they were here, I only wish we could have had more time together (especially since the weather is nice now). Oh well, it will just give us an excuse to visit them next time. Thanks for coming and making this weekend so fun!
