The weekend of July 4th came and went way too fast! We had so much fun. Brett came out as well as Brion and Amie on Saturday for Grantsville's parade (I didn't get pictures of that experience) and to have a barbeque out back. What is a barbeque without homemade ice cream? Landon wanted to help. Here is a picture of his determined expression.
Of course the best part of homemade ice cream is when it is done, you get to lick the paddles. Logan, Landon and Lexie chowing down. They couldn't get enough of it.
When they had finished I took the paddles away and turned around to get a wash cloth and this is what I saw....
Licking the counter top!! All three of them! B&A left Lexie overnight on Saturday so they could go to the Stadium of Fire. We had a good time with her. Scott and Lacee came home from their cabin and visited with B&A and Nick, I and Brett on Sunday evening. Here is Easton. He loves his sunglasses.
A quick game of horse shoes is always fun. Brett beat the pants of Brion...hee, hee. Scott and Nick were against Brion and Brett in this game.
While the guys were playing horseshoes all the kids were playing on the swingset and tramp.
We let off some fireworks (just a few) and here is the audience. I think these were better than Grantsville's and Deseret Peaks.....anyway, ours lasted longer.
On Monday Brett, Nick and I decided that we would visit all of the prophets graves except Joseph Smith (he is buried in Nauvoo and we have been there a couple of times). We started at the SLC cemetary where we found all of the prophets except president Lorenzo Snow who is buried in Brigham City, Ezra Taft Benson who is buried in Whitney Idaho and Brigham Young who is buried in a little cemetary by city creek just east of downtown SLC. It took us all day, but we sure enjoyed it. Here is Brigham Youngs grave site. Notice the bronze head at the left and sitting by Nick is a bronze of Brigham Young sitting on the bench playing with his grandchildren. It was a quiet, peaceful place.
This is Lorenzo Snows marker in Brigham City.
This is President Bensons in Whitney Idaho which is just north of Logan. This cemetary is the neatest little cemetary. It isn't a block long, surrounded by big beautiful trees and you have to go on a dirt road to get to it. I loved it!!
While in the SLC Cemetary we found many other dignitaries like Truman Madsen who just passed away last year (he is a cousin of Adrien's) as well as Heber J. Grant who is Adrien's great great grandfather! We had a nice drive through the beautiful Cache Valley and southern Idaho. Even Brett enjoyed it. All in all it was a wonderful weekend, just what we needed.

What a great post. Love the ice cream antics. Super creative road trip, I hadn't ever considered where the prophets were buried. We're a pretty awesome state with such great bones residing so close.
