Memorial day

I just realized that I forgot to post about our Memorial day.  Whoops!  Our little family, Quinn and my Mom drove out to Logan to visit the providence cemetery, and Logan cemetery.  I had Matt go and buy single roses to lay on the graves of my older brother Curt, my Grandpa and Grandma Zollinger, and my Grandpa Kotter.  I had a bag of marshmallows to lay on my Dad's grave.  It was a good cleansing visit.  I hadn't been to my Dad's grave or the other graves in about a year.  It's really hard to get out that way.  After visiting my Dad, Curt, and Grandpa and Grandma Z's graves we went and visited with my Grandma Kotter.  We went with her to put flowers on my Grandpa Kotter's grave, and then took her out to lunch at the Texas Roadhouse.  Yummy!  She really enjoyed herself and was very happy that we came to visit her.  She is very lonely.  I need to get out there more.  I hope I will have more time, or that I can make time.  After visiting with her we left and visited my Aunt Maryann, and Uncle Derald.  I love their house and yard, have lot's of good memories there.  I need to visit them more often as well.
We left and came back to my mom's house and visited for a little bit, and then my Mom says who is in the mood for ice cream?  Of course we all were, and so she says let's go my treat.  So we went to Dairy Queen and got some yummy treats.  Thanks Mom!  We didn't have time to go put flowers on Matt's Grandpa Layton, Or Grandpa or Grandma Lemmon's graves.  Matt bought a big candy bar to lay on Grandpa and Grandma Lemmon's grave.  They always had candy bars for you when we came to visit.  So he had gotten a huge snickers bar because that was the one he always chose.  We were able to lay flowers on his grandfather's grave as well.  We were able to do this the next day for our family night.
