Memorial Day Celebration

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Daphne being entertained by Kristen.

Today we went to the Orem City Cemetery and took Grandma Hill with us. Kristen decided to drive.

Chase- comfy in Andrew's arms.

We met family members at Grandpa’s grave and put flowers all around the headstone and also on Jennifer’s grave. We heard the program from the Veterans Section of the cemetery but it was far enough away that it didn’t drown out our voices as we sang “There is Beauty All Around, When there’s Love at Home”. Part of the family went to Gunnison and Centerfield to decorate graves there. We stayed home to get some work done on the house.

Derek and Julia working in the garden.

We were so tired we didn’t get the work done we wanted to but did get a little rest. Mom had a few students this afternoon too. We went to Rosie and Derek’s home for a barbeque in the late afternoon and had fun with the grandkids. Ethan and Julia are really becoming soccer experts. They spend a lot of time with their friends shooting penalty shots into the goal that Derek made for them. Julia was chosen to help her dad plant some things in their garden. We took a few family pictures at the end of the day. It was fun!
