Memorial Day!
Well, this year, you also had to add in the rain. Even with that variable it was still a wonderful day! Chad and I had a nice low-key morning at home. Love those mornings. In the afternoon, we headed up to my parents house. We had a BBQ (eaten indoors!) and banana splits. Mmm...I haven't had a banana split in years. My mom even bought the banana boats from DQ...thanks mom for going to the extra effort. I received a personal garden tour from 
my dad. My dad loves working in his yard. As I've grown older with a yard of my own, I enjoy playing in the dirt a bit as well. It's fun to learn from him and even transplant a few plants from his yard. We headed down to the Kaysville cemetary to visit G'ma
Ruth's grave. The kids loved carrying the flowers. They also loved reading names and dates on other headstones...wondering who these people were and what had happened to them. It's nice to have a day to reflect on the lives of those we love so dearly. I am so grateful for the heritage that is mine. I love and miss my g'parents and other family members dearly. I often reflect on the pieces for me and my life that are so much of who they were. From remembering my pioneer heritage, my love of art and even the way I load the dishwasher...all little pieces from them. I am grateful for these little reminders.

We used to do that -- go to the cemetary, on Mother's day though. My mom could spend hours. After caring for the graves of our family members, she'd roam and read all the other headstones. I HATED it as a kid, but what I wouldn't do to walk with her there now...man...
Sounds like a great day, weather and all.
