Jon's Grandfather's funeral was lovely. It was a LONG drive to get there, but we are so glad we went. It was so very nice to be able to be with family and remember such a great man. It was a happy sad family reunion.

 

 

The children and I got to meet Grandma Grey for the first time.

 

 

 

 

 

Jon's Grandpa was a Marine. It was awesome to see uniformed Marine's there and see them show their respect for a fellow Marine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kaylee is always asking to take pictures. She's getting pretty good.

We of course had to get a photo of Regan with his great Uncle Mark wearing their suspenders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was able to meet lots of family for the first time IN person. Facebook and blogs are nice, but only get you so far. Karen I hope we meet again in person soon rather than later. Karen family is also hoping to adopt. Go check them out.

 

 

 

Fun and games with the family after the funeral.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following day we headed back south to spend some time with the southern Utah family. We played lots of Canasta. I cannot think of Grandpa without thinking of canasta. It was a favorite of his, and so we play. Plus it's a wicked fun game.

Aunt Shelly taught Kaylee how to make duck lips from Pringles. I love her cross eyed face as she tries to look at it.

All in all it was just a lovely trip.
