On the morning of July 1st, Curt got a call from his mom saying that his Grandpa May (her father) had passed away. Curt and I both felt that it was important for us to take our family up to Utah to be there for the services. We ended up loading our van that afternoon and headed to Kanab, UT, where we stayed over night. On our drive to Kanab, we saw the most vivid rainbow! It made me think of Grandpa May and the reunion that he must be having with his friends, family members, and especially his son Bryan who died almost 2 years ago.
We had planned on spending the weekend of July 4th at the cabin, celebrating Ty's 5th birthday. But after talking it over with Ty, he decided that it would be fun to have his party in Utah with his cousins. We were grateful that Rich and Marla had room for us to stay at their townhouse. The boys had a blast there! We had a great time in Utah, considering the circumstances. The weather was perfect and we were able to see a lot of family members that we hadn't seen in several years. We spent the morning and afternoon of the 4th in Grantsville with Uncle Mark and his family. We all had a great time! Curt and Matt lit fireworks in the street by the townhouse. All of the kids were lined up on blankets watching.
The morning of the funeral, Ty started throwing up. Needless to say, I stayed with Ty and Jake...while Curt and Luke went on to the funeral. Curt sang "Nearer My God to Thee" with Natalie, Rich and Marla. Luke and the other grandkids/great grandkids sang "Faith". I was told that they all did an awesome job! We headed back home to AZ that afternoon, and had a super fun time with Ty's vomit and diarrhea along the way :) We decided to drive straight through and arrived at our Home Sweet Home around 1:30am the next day.
