We filled our Memorial Day to the brim with food and family and outside-ness. It was the most picture perfect day and practically perfect in every way.
We started out by bringing breakfast to Grandpa and Grandma Blanchard. On the menu:
sourdough waffles, peach syrup, bacon, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and berries. Yum! While Gregg did some stucco repair from the roof, the kids and Grandma and I took a walk to the canal to visit the 30 (!!!) baby ducks that call it home. Grandpa came over with the lawnmower and trailer and the kids got to ride back home in style.

| Yum! |
 |
| Precarious position. |
 |
| Hi, ducks! |
 |
| Ready to roll. |
We left West Haven and headed to Cache Valley where we visited the cemeteries in Smithfield and Hyde Park and then met up with my parents and grandparents and Ky, Michael and Zoe in Providence for a hot dog roast picnic and visiting in the shade.

| Smithfield Cemetery done up right. |

| Visiting my Grandpa's grave for the first time since he died. |

This stone is in honor of Mervin Elwood,
my grandpa's uncle, who fought and died in WWI
in France. His body is there, but a memorial to him
and others who fought is near the flagpole in the Hyde
Park Cemetery. |
 |
| Hyde Park Cemetery lookin' fine. |

Oh yeah, we had a pit stop at Arctic Circle for a
dipped cone - boy were they messy treats! |
 |
| Dinner time! |
