On Sunday we all piled into the family cars and headed up to Ogden to spend the day with Aaron's Grandmother. Thankfully, with a good stretch of road and a strategically planned nap time, Grace was able to catch a few Z's on the way up there.
Its tradition in Utah to go and visit the graves of deceased family members over memorial weekend. This might be tradition in other places, but we didn't do it where I grew up. It was nice to be a part of it this year. I felt like I was really taking part in some of the Barnard family history.
We first visited the graves of Aaron's grandfather and uncle.
They are buried in a family lot and as Aaron's grandmother pointed out the history we came upon the grave of Grace Starkey Draayer. Grace's name has a lot of history.
Did I mention that it was gorgeous while we were there?

They're pals
Later we were able to go and visit Aaron's Grandpa Wayne
It was a long day, but I'm glad that Grace was able to take part in some of her family history.
