Decoration Day

Getting the vase out

Putting flowers in the vase

The decorated grave
Dan and the kids at the gravesite.  We were glad to see that Bill had a flag this year.

The kids in their patriotic clothes

The kids in a little pool for them to cool off

At first, Andy wouldn't get in, but would just play in the water at the edge


Andy checking out his siblings playing.  I love how curly his hair is!

Andrew finally decided to venture into the pool

Where are Dan's parents buried? I can't remember. It's cool that you took everybody there to remember them. I know when we're in Grand Rapids, a trip to Jessica's grave is always in order... we know she isn't there in the ground, but there's just something about going. :)

It's great to take the kids to the cemetery and decorate the family graves. I remember doing that as a child. We didn't make it this year due to a birth in the family but I checked out all the cemeteries we passed as we traveled.
And what would Memorial Day weekend be to kids without a splash in the pool? Great memories.
