Memorial Day

It is ritual for our family to go to the cemetary near our house and observe Memorial day. It is a great ceremony and helps us realize how important this day is to observe.
Here is the Color Guard



21 Gun Salute (for those of you that don't know...they don't shoot the guns 21 times independently...instead it is 7 guys shooting 3 times.)

A bugle player pretends to play ...hmmm the name has slipped my mind... TAPS there it is! He has a mini player in his bugle and it does sound pretty good:)
Good bye until next year.
I just love this picture!
When we pulled up Kenner said, Look Mom! Baby Flags! They had a lot of fun being respectful with the flags and of course I documented it with pictures.

Kenner's attempt at saluting the flag. He can't do two things at once...holding the flag up and putting his hand on his head. We will work on it though.

Thanks Dad for helping serve our Country. We love you!
I love you too brother!

Bob and Marilyn, our good friends, invited us over for a Memorial Day BBQ. It was a great time. Many times in our life we just don't take time to just sit around and talk unless it is a funeral or wedding. It was great to have this day to get to sit and talk with friends and not having it fall in between a project to rest.
