Memorial Day

Well, it was a little too windy here in Blanding for it to be a great Memorial Day, but it was still a decent day. We had planned on going for a ride down south to look for some more petrified wood for my moms garden, but because of the wind, we backed out on that one. So we spent most of our day at home relaxing. We did go to the cemetery and look at a few of the graves. We visited my Grandpa Redds grave, he died when I was only 5 years old. We also visited the grave of my Great Grandma Palmer. I hadn't seen her grave because I was in DC when she passed away. After paying our respects to those who have gone on, we came home for a little more fun activity. We started making up some sweet kabobs and fired up the grill. It was fun putting them together, and cookin them up. I also made a cake while the kabobs were on the grill, so we had a good feast for the night. So it wasn't the most exciting holiday, but we still had a good time.

Trip to La Caille

Well, due to much encouraging from my sister-in-law Tina, I have decided to join the blogging world, so here we go. This last week my parents and I traveled to Salt Lake with the French Club from San Juan High to go on their anual trip to La Caille. We left Blanding on Monday morning and took the long trip up to Salt Lake. It felt pretty weird being on a school bus again. Anyway, we got to go to a Salt Lake Bees game that night, which was a lot of fun. It was really weird because it was actually pretty cold at the game, and usually cold weather and baseball don't go together. So we sat behind home plate huddled in blankets and hoodies and watched the Bees beat Round Rock 8-3! The next morning/afternoon we left our hotel and drove to the La Caille Restaraunt. We got to walk the grounds for about a half an hour before we sat down to a good meal. Shortly after the meal I left the rest of the group because I had planned to stay with my brother Zeb for a few days. We had planned to do a few activities, but I wound up getting sick on Tuesday night, and was pretty much in bed until late on Wednesday. So that threw a huge wrench into our plans. We did manage to go see Iron Man while we were in Ogden, but that was about it. Hopefully the next trip will be a little more fun!
