Happy Memorial Day

This last weekend the Sharples family rented a cabin just off of fish lake - in central Utah. It was Ma and Pa, Shelby and Steve, Kim and Ben and Jordan. The boys got up early sunday morning out on the lake. Steve was wearing a bright yellow reflective jacket so we could always spot them. They were out on the lake for 3 hours and Ben was the only one who caught fish!

Yeah! Look what I got!
The ironry is that Ben is allergic to fish. He can't even touch them!
Ben got a total of 5! Steve and Jordan went out later and caught a few - but couldn't beat Ben's record!

This is the cabin from the inside - pretty small but worked out pretty well...
"Elk horn Cabin"
On the way home Ben took me through some childhood memories in Salina.
This is funny.
Ben says that it used to be a law in Utah that businesses couldn't advertise for the sale of Beer. And they found ways around it! "SNACKS - ICE - COLD POP & BEEP!!" I laughed and laughed.
This is pretty funny too - we're driving through and Ben's pointing out different stores here and there. Then says 'here is where they put in a traffic light, but no one knew how to handle it, so they took it out and put the four way stop back in.' Nice.
This is Ben's Grandpa's old house. Awwww.
We also walked through the Salina cemetry. We noticed that his Great grandpa, grandpa, younger brother has the middle name 'Oscar'. Wouldn't it be cool to carry on that tradition? I really did enjoy spending time with Ben and learning about my kids' heritage. :)
Happy Memorial Day :)
