Memorial Day Activities

Rory and Emily started the day by 4-wheeling up Mona Trail. There is still a lot of snow and they were turned back by the snowdrifts blocking the trail.

We hiked the Grotto Trail to the Waterfall. It was fun!

Even Kippy joined in the activity. There were many bridges to cross the stream.

Alyssa can do this. It's easy!

Taylor liked leading the way!

Brianna kept right up with her big brother!

Picture time!

What would a picnic be without soda pop?

Memorial Weekend - Decorating the Graves

This is the headstone for Isaac Shaw and his wife, Mary Ann Marriot Shaw. It is found towards the center of the Sandy, Utah cemetary on 90th South and 7th East. The headstone is made from sandstone and it has weathered badly over the years. Currently, the letters are barely visible because of wear from the wind and elements.

Grandma Shaw was happy that we were able to decorate the graves and remember our ancestors!

This is the street view from Vine Street looking west to Grandpa Shaw's grave. The Perrella headstone is closest to the street. If you can find this headstone you should be able to locate Grandpa Shaw's grave. The headstone is about 100 yards north of the street light located on the intersection of Vine and 59th street.

This is Grandma Shaw's parents(Nielsen) grave in the Salt Lake City Cemetary. It is in the U block of the cemetary (U23). The best way to enter the cemetary is to enter from N Street off of South Temple Street in Salt Lake City and follow the road until the "U" Block. The closest street corner address to the grave is 445 North 980 East.
