Memorial Day

On the holiday when most families spend their time at the lake or hiking or doing something fun, Edie and I sat at home. Yes, Nate worked all day. He left the house at 4 a.m. to start preparing for a demo at work. The cool thing...later, he was filmed by the Discovery Channel-Canada and will be starring in a documentary! I always knew Nate would be a star.

Luckily, at 5 p.m., Matt and Regen rescued us from our lame holiday and took us up Provo Canyon for a cookout. As we drove through the canyon, our evening sadly looked dim. None of us had ever seen the place so crowded. It looked hopeless. All our hamburgers, hotdogs, and sausages seemed doomed to spoil. We were all so surprised when Matt dove out of the car with Vee-like reflexes, racing a poor couple hauling a stroller, to claim the one and only empty grill. Thanks to years of competing with his 4 brothers, Matt won the competition and sent the other little family sulking back to their car. Matt had saved the day!

Here are some pictures of our lame day turned golden!

It's cream soda.


Matt and Regen brought Edie the greatest invention ever.


Looking good Regen! Only 1 summer to go!
