Before we had to say goodbye

At the "Bat Cave" Thursday evening.



Before we had to say goodbye and go our separate ways, we spent the last day of our reunion, Thursday, May 19, in Logan, Utah together.

We arose early and had breakfast together in the Sherwood Hills dining room.

Miquel, Jeff, Makenzi, Will and Jill all looking awake and chipper!

Good morning Day family,

 and Jason Swigert family!


 None of them look like they stayed up past 1:00am watching movies and playing games.

Nothing like watching Bott flies lay their eggs in human skin to digest breakfast on.

Ya gotta love smart phones.

Here we are in the Logan cemetery at the grave site of Jill's parents, Clair and Barbara Rasmussen.

Jace spends a little time collecting sticks and pine cones to decorate the graves.

Jill says her parents would love it, every stick, and I agree.



Aunt Makenzi, or should we call her cousin Makenzi, giving Grace the ROYAL treatment as she pushes  her across the cemetery.

Ellie and Jace decorating the graves.

They are still at it.

Jill sharing stories of her/our ancestors at each graveside. 

 I was really struck by their heroism. So many of them gave up everything they had when they joined our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  They immigrated to America,  then crossed the plains to join the Saints in Utah.

More stories.

Two cousins.  Grace and Norah.

Sweet Norah.

BreeAnn finds a pinwheel!



Jeff and Aubrey

After the cemetery visit, we all went to Aggie's for the most delicious ice cream and

squeaky cheese.

We then drove past the BEAUTIFUL homes that Jill's Great-Grandfather Olof Pederson built in the 1800's for his family. (Unfortunately, I don't have pictures.)

The time came for us to leave Logan and head south to Salt Lake City, about 90 minutes away.

We then had dinner and hung out at the Bat Cave.

It was such

A look behind the scenes.






  a PERFECT day.
