On a side note, we went to the SummerFest in Logan too. We listened to some delightful salsa music and watched all of the crazy people of Logan dance to it. This was only my second time to the SummerFest, and I must say, it was quite enjoyable.

my bargin shopper
So Jason is a bargin shopper. If there is a good deal, Jason will buy it, even if we don't need it. Recently, we are have taken up the hobby of going to yard sales and browsing over the items. Well, on Saturday Jason found some yard sales to go check out and I tagged along. We really had no intentions of buying anything, but then we made our last stop. I knew that when Jason saw that grill, there was no way to talk him out of it. Although they were asking a whopping $50 for this new grill, Jason knew that he, of all people, could talk them down. After a while of bartering the owner did back down. While this was all happening, I was far away looking at purses. I'm not one to barter. Well, on that sunny day, Jason proudly left the yard sale with a new grill and a full propane tank for a mere $30. What a guy. We had steak that night for dinner. And we just might be eating out on the grill every night this summer.

the tale of two trips
The past two weekends we have traveled up to Burley. The first was to simply visit. All of Jason's siblings were there and it was nice to see them all again. We enjoyed playing games with each other and eating goodies. I saw Seven Brides for Seven Brothers while we were there, aand Jason quickly found other things to occupy himself while I watch the movie with the girls. I must say that it was a delightful show. Jason and I might have to purchase that classic.
Because we did not make it up to Burley over Memorial Day, we went out to visit family graves in the Burley Cemetary. This picture is of Grandma Morley's grave. It was a nice visit.
While we were up there, we decided it would be a great idea to get Jason's canoe. However, we had a slight problem once we saw the canoe. It was 16 feet long. That's just a bit bigger than the truck we brought up to haul it back in. After multiple attempts to load the canoe into the back of the truck, we decided that it probably would not be too smart to drive down the freeway with this green thing hanging almost 7 feet out of the truck. Although it broke Jason's heart, we left the canoe there. Maybe one day we will get it down to our house.
One our second visit up to Burley, we went to strictly work. The Pollard family has some big plans for their yard this year, so we tried to get a head start on things. We were much too busy for pictures (and I was not too keen on taking pictures of my sweaty self), but I enjoyed working with Jason on the yard. Jason was up at 6:00 a.m. because he wasn't about to waste time. It was a very productive weekend, and there is still more to be done. 
Later, Jason and Michael made a delicious steak dinner for every one. Yum! They are both excellent cooks. Although, Jason learned everything he knows from his dad (at least that's what I was told my Michael). I am just so happy that I married a cook. It has worked out well for both of us.

memorial day
On Memorial Day, Jason and I decided that we have had enough of the cold weather, so we protested. We went swimming, because, dang it, it is supposed to be summer. Now, Bear Lake really is not the place to actually swim, because the water is fridged all year round. Nonetheless, we set out to have a nice summer Memorial Day.
The drive there took a bit longer than intended, but it was beautiful when we got there. Once I got out of the car and dipped my toe in the water, I quickly decided that I would not be swimming that day and Jason agreed. That water was cold! There was no way that we would be able to submerse our whole bodies in that lake. I waded out in the water up to my knees, but that was about all the swimming I did.
So, Jason and I sat on the beach and ate a very delicious ham and cheese sandwich. After a grand total of about of about 20 minutes, we had eaten our sandwiches. We looked at each other and wondered what in the world to do now. Luckily, we had a frisby in the car, and we played on the beach for a bit longer, before deciding to drive home.
It was a very long drive, and a short stay, but it was a wonderful day to spend our Memorial Day. Hopefully next time we wonder over to Bear Lake, we actually swim.
