On April 24 we were able to get together with Reed's entire family and honor his Grandpa Ralph. He was shot in Iwo Jima during World War II and never received his Purple Heart. Reed's Aunt Kathy and Uncle Finn were able to do some research and remedy this situation. When Ralph walked in the door he looked really surprised, or maybe stunned would be a better word. It was so good to be able to spend time with the family, especially Ralph, who we do not see nearly enough. We ate at Stockman's in Manti, and the kids thought it was rather fancy as it had a scone, a salad course, the main course, and then dessert. Jake mentioned that "these fancy restaurants have the best cucumbers." Afterward we took the kids to walk the grounds at the Manti temple, and then we searched out some old headstones in Spring City. We had a great time, and hope to be able to visit again soon.
