memorial day

a couple of weeks ago was memorial day. i met my family up at brianhead to celebrate the occasion. on sunday we drove to monroe utah where we decorated my grandparents graves and had a picnic at a local park. i consider myself to be somewhat athletic. i mean, i couldnt make any sports team at byu but i can throw a ball and stuff like that. for some reason my athletic abilities really struggled at that picnic. first, me and my brother-in-law decided to play catch with a baseball. i probably over threw him six times. sorry scott. then we played catch with a football and i over threw it and hit the top of the medal covering which was a good thing because if it hadnt it probably would have pegged devin in the head. sorry devin. then we were playing catch with a baseball again and i threw it and almost hit my nephew dax in the head. given that wasnt all my fault, the person who was supposed to catch it lost the ball in the sun and got out of the way. the ball bounced right over dax's head. i yelled watch out dax, fully expecting the one year old to react. he didnt and never even realized he was almost hit. sorry dax. then my dad found a frisbee and threw it to me. i threw it back as hard as i could and the stupid thing curved on me and landed on top of the metal covering, i dont think anyone really wanted to play frisbee but still, i can do better than that. after that i retired to sitting in the grass.
