Our Memorial Day was packed with travel and family time. Andy had the weekend off so we thought we should take advantage of it and get out of town for awhile.
We started out by heading to Spencer to visit with Grammy, Papa, and
Aunt Liz. Marie was so excited to get on Papa's boat! Too bad the weather didn't cooperate, but we still got our boat ride, ice cream, and Arnold's Park adventures in between the rain showers.
Marie played with Aunt Liz until she nearly fell over from exhaustion. Bennett had a blast being adventurous with his new crawling skill and hamming it up for his audience, and Gus was a fantastic puppy on his first visit to Grammy & Papa's house.
Next we went to Rock Valley to join the Van Beek family for our annual trip to the cemetery.
The kids take their cleaning jobs very seriously.
This was Marie's 2nd time here to visit Papa Rick and Bennett's first.
Marie
was filled with questions this time and left feeling a little confused
but understood it was a special place to visit and an important day for
Mommy. I look forward to continuing this tradition with them as they get
older and hope they find comfort in it like I do.
It was great to spend time with family and we are looking forward to June - full of travels and fun summer time adventures!
