Memorial Day weekend was a weekend spent remembering those who have gone before us & savoring the time we have with each other while we're here.
Our first stop was the cemetery to visit the graves of Darren's Grandma Rose & Grandpa Joseph along with many other relatives. (Though it was part of his namesake from the start, it was a little odd seeing a tomb with Andrew's exact full name on it.) We prayed that their souls are happy with God in Heaven. The girls didn't really get it & there was a crazy cold wind, but I'm glad we made the stop. Grandma Rose held a special place in my heart... she was the first to know we were going to get engaged!
Then it was out to Green Grandpa's pond for some fishing. Andrew & Darren had no luck. After about 20 minutes of *patiently* waiting for a bite as they almost blew off the dock, they decided to call it quits for the day. Rebecca wanted to give it a try, so she cast out once... & caught her first fish ever! She was very excited. : )
Teresa & I enjoyed watching all of the fishing, bug hunting, flower picking, & bird chasing.
Then we dropped in at Darren's brother's home for a visit & to meet the new pony.
Alaina generously let each of the kiddos take a couple of rides.
Thanks, Alaina!
Andrea & I hung out in the warm house with our cutie pies. Can you tell they are only three weeks apart?
We finished off the day with some tasty Cici's pizza & an amusing game of air hockey.Hooray for memories!
