Memorial Weekend

We had to stay close to home for Memorial weekend because I had to teach in Relief Society, but we still had some fun. We bought bikes because Steve and I are going to "get in shape" and we got this sweet trailer bike for Gavin that we just hook on the back of Steve's bike. It's so much fun to be able to ride all together!! The Jordon River trail is just a block from our house, so we've gone on a couple good bike rides.


We went fishing with our friends at these little ponds in South Jordon right off the trail. Steve and Gavin even caught a couple of fish before it started pouring rain. We threw them back of course because they were pretty tiny and I can't really handle being party to murdering a fish. But Gavin was pretty disappointed because he wanted to take the fish home and cook it. YUCK!
Gavin got a new soccer ball but we couldn't even play outside because of the yucky weather. So we had to get creative and turned our basement into a soccer field. So despite the weather and not being able to leave town we had a great time just being together as a family.

Looks like fun. It is kinda nice to stay close to home. I wish the weather would of been a little nicer, maybe someday it will be warm.

That hook-n bike is such a great idea. Do you think they make one in adult size? Jim doesn't like that idea. Why not?
It sounds like a great day. It's so great the way you all appreciate and enjoy life.

Can't believe we tried to fish in that weather. The things we do for kids and husbands. It was fun, lets do again on a sunny day.

Glad you had a nice weekend. That trailer bike looks cool. Josh and I had our own bbq after the kids went to bed. It was so nice and relaxing, and I actually got to eat at a decent pace.
