Memorial Day Activities

We woke up Monday morning to go help prepare the Memorial Day breakfast at the Graves'. No, it's not what it sounds like exactly - the Graves are our neighbors - but how fitting none the less :) Skyler's job was to cook the sausage. Mine?...I supervised

And took self portraits

There was a really good turn out. The Grave's always make sure to invite all of the neighbors as well as the entire ward. We love the Graves!



Here's one of Skyler's scouts, Adam. We sat next to him on top of the hill to eat.

Here's Skyler enjoying a breakfast made in Heaven (his heaven) - eggs loaded with cheese, hashbrowns cooked in bacon grease, pork sausage, and bacon which was sitting in a pool of...lets call it flavor :)

Once breakfast was done Skyler and I got changes and went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to go on a hike. We ended up hiking on the Dog Lake trail, although there was too much snow to hike down to the lake. We got close though. Only about a mile or so away.











Then, once we were done with the hike I had Skyler take us to The Silver Fork Lodge. It's a little diner up Big Cottonwood Canyon that my dad always used to take my brother and I to when we were younger. We ate out on the deck overlooking the gorgeous mountains.



The prices were higher then I remembered so Skyler and I had a healthy lunch of cheese fries and the BEST chocolate fudge cake I have ever had - Mmmmmmmm....that sounds really good. I think I'll go eat some chocolate cake now :)
