Actually, we went to Brigham City on the Saturday before Memorial Day because Jan & girls were in town. That was the best decision we ever made because today (Monday, May 26th) is rainy and cold. We all met at Grandpa's grave and also visited both sets of grandparents' graves, too. We then went to John Adams Park for KFC and other good food. The kids played on the playground and then went and threw rocks in the creek. Then, we followed the upper part of the creek and were right across the street from the old John Bott Monument Company. (This was Grandma Atwood's grandfather's business when he was a polygamist with 3 wives.) It was so interesting to look into all the windows--it seems to still be used for cemetery markers and they had a sign about tour times. Then the kids all had a race down the hill and went back up to roll down it several times. I'm told that Grandma even rolled down the hill but no one caught it with a camera! Zac (Angie's son) had a birthday on Friday so we also celebrated it. What a fun day enjoying each other's company and knowing we were honoring our Grandpa by spending time together in his memory. I'm sure he was smiling down on us all. Hey, all of you other descendants--come and join us next year!!!
