As is our tradition, we journeyed to Richfield for the Memorial Day weekend. It's always a time full of family, food, and fun. Each year I love to see my children at each of the cemeteries, and look back to the pictures from the years before to see how much they've grown. I appreciate that my children think of this as a special time and are able to learn about their family history firsthand.

How fun to have extended family join you! I'm sure the kids will always remember how to celebrate Memorial Day. Tell Reid that I'm sure knocking over headstones happens all the time!:)
It was so fun. I'm sure glad my family loves to come on Memorial Day. It has really become a fun tradition.
