Memorial Day Weekend

It was Memorial Day a couple of weekends ago. Didya hear?

We made the annual family trek up to Smithfield to visit Dad (whose headstone is not yet in place), as well as the final resting places of our grandparents and numerous other ancestors.

One-year-old Graham got up close and personal with the grave of his great-great-great-great-grandfather Alonzo P. Raymond, who served in the Mormon Battalion during the Mexican-American War of the 1840s among many other accomplishments.


After I posted this photo on social media, I came to find out that one of our good family friends is also descended from Grandpa Raymond.

And, when in Rome (or, in this case, Cache Valley), you gotta stop by Gossner's for some cheese curd, ice cream cones, and other delicious dairy products.

So, all in all, it was a wonderful weekend.
