We took our annual jaunt to the Spanish Fork Cemetary. But this time we had some additional members. This time, it was Michelle, McKenna, Grace, Brooke, Abi, Grandpa, Grandma and Nick. We had a great time. The Clemons car arrived first so we took advantage of the time to relax in the sun next to Melanie's grave. It was an absolutely beautiful day and this was fabulous.

Then Michelle, gpa, gma, Grace and McKenna arrived. Michelle cleaned all the graves off with a shovel and a broom and bring decorations. We bring lots of hud to decorate Melanie's grave because we know she is saying 'oh how come I didn't get all that hud on my grave like everyone else' so michelle brings lots of hud for the grave.
Then we have to go eat and we ended up at the Taco Bell. After that, we went to glade's for a milkshake for on the way home. Nick ordered a vanilla and accidentially took the dudes cookie dough. Bummer, they should have been faster at getting orders out. Grandpa is always a good sport about paying. We also saw gra
ves for Grandma and Grandpa Lewis (my dad's parents), Melanie (my sister), Kathleen (my sister), Aunt June (my dad's sister) and lots of other cousins and aunts that I really don't know. It was cool to go to the cemetery and see how beautiful it was. I sometimes think that people who put lotsof HUD on their graves need to get therapy. It was fun today to see all the people at the cemetery looking at loved ones and keeping the family tree alive and how much people love their families and want to stay connected.
So, a funny note. My Aunt June purchased like 14 funeral plots near Melanie. Well, she was cremated and her Urn was placed BETWEEN two people that were Husband and wife! Carl and his wife Teddy. So that day, we were at the cemetery, their daughter was there and was quite upset that Aunt June was buried BETWEEN them. It was weird because she purchased the 14 plots. One would think that she would get one of those. So, next time we were there, the headstones were moved! Much better. But the whole thing is kindof fishy..
