Remembering Grandpa Thorley

We spent a week in Cedar playing hard with cousins. We had fun in the sun and enjoyed the beautiful weather. The girls also got on a lake for the first time and absolutely LOVED it! Sof even got up on a wakeboard with my sister. And, I dropped my phone in the lake, which wasn't ideal, but it happened and I now have a cute purple phone. Oh well.

Right before I dropped my phone in the water. It sank fast.

Although my Grandpa Thorley passed away in November, the family planned to get together and celebrate his life after COVID had finally slowed down a bit. We all gathered in Cedar City around the time of his birthday in June. It was a LONG ceremony, but it was good. Good to celebrate my sweet grandpa, and so good to get together with cousins I don't see anymore. I accompanied my sister and cousin on their cello's, and the arrangement my aunt put together was absolutely beautiful. It was a beautiful day.

Afterwards, we all congregated up the canyon at Woods Ranch at a catered BBQ luncheon, which was delicious! Greg was thrilled because just up the road a ways was his favorite mtn biking trail, Blowhard. So, we ditched the kids for a min so I could shuttle him up and back. They barely missed us, I think. The girls had fun playing with their 2nd cousins and eating yummy food. We also found Kids Pond, which I haven't been to in years and was so happy to see that it was a lot cleaner than how I remember it.

Another day, it was fun to congregate with my cousins again at my Grandpa's condo pool. We swams for hours, and had so much fun! Meanwhile, Greg was on another mountain biking adventure.

We finished out the trip/day by taking our traditional drive up to the temple.
