Memorial Day

Today we headed to the Centerville Cemetery to visit Grandma and Grandpa Argyle’s and Great-grandma and Grandpa Adams’ grave for Memorial Day. It was beautiful to see flowers everywhere and families picnicking together. We shared with Carter our favorite memories of Grandma and Grandpa Argyle. Mine in particular were the many Fourth of July and Christmas Eve holidays spent in their home. After we roamed around the cemetery looking at all the other ancestors buried there.

When we left we headed to Antelope Island. We had never been there before and we had the BEST time. It was too much fun! Carter absolutely loved the water. It’s like it was made for his little feet to run in; the water was only a few inches deep. The beaches were flat and wide open so he could run as long and as far as he wanted. We also brought my surfboard along so that we could send a picture to “Free to Ride” surf shop in Capitola. They said they would put it up in their shop and that they didn’t have a picture from the Salt Lake. At one point, Carter got stuck in some mud and loved playing with it. It was the greyest, smelliest mud I’ve ever seen/smelled. Of course, he had to put it in his mouth and let’s just say better out than in. After we left the beach we drove around the island and saw the bison that live there. We had a great day together as a family.

The flag represents grandpa serving in WWII.

I didn't know John Adams served  in the military...so now I have something to investigate. 

Carter ran right into the water...

Carter got a taste of the salt water.

"Hi Mommy!"

To the Pacific Ocean with love, the Great Salt Lake.

That's the stinky mud.

Just ate the mud...I won't post a picture of what happened next. I promise I couldn't stop  him.

So happy to be free and dirty.
