Ideas for Memorial Day Weekend


What fun plans do you already have in mind for this holiday weekend? Whether you’re spending it with the family, or catching up on some much needed alone time, there’s plenty to do to enjoy your three day weekend!

Here are some of my top selections:

Plant Flowers on your own, or with the kids! - Friday May 24th, there is a Tulip Bulb Sale at Thanksgiving Point – starts at 10am and goes until the bulbs are gone! $3 for a dozen! I will definitely be grabbing some for my own flower patch. Greenhouse Hours are Mon-Sat 10am-6pm, stop in and take home some of the famous tulip festival with you, and make a family activity out of planting them together! See more on the event here.


Splash Pad Party at The Shops at Riverwoods - May 24th 4-6pm come for dancing, games, and a bounce house! Bring your suite, towel and camera, and while there check out the shops and fun places to play like Provo Beach Resort! See more details!
