A Memorial Day Get Together



Sunday we traveled to Fairfield to be with family for Memorial Day Weekend. This holiday means alot to me, I love driving around here on Fort Ord and seeing all the yellow ribbons tied around the poles. Im grateful for the military and all that they do. I really do feel it is a blessing for our family to be apart of it again. We went to my moms house and visited with my Aunt Sandy and Uncle Terry (Dad's sister). The kids love seeing their family. Then Memorial Day we actually stayed around home and it was pretty low key. I tried to go on a walk while the kids rode their bikes although ended up carrying Kya's bike most of the way because he can't peddle up the hills. Lucy on the other hand......refused any help and did the hills all by her self. Funny how my boy wimps out and my girl keeps going. :) I know someday Kya's muscles will be strong enough to ride any hill......

It could be the muscles...or he is just really smart and knows you are going to carry the bike for him and that would be the easier way to get up the hill :)

It's all about the "Crew" said...

I love Memorial Day, too! We wanted to be patriotic this year and actually visit the cemetery or something, but we didn't want to take any major road trips, and we didn't really know where to go locally- that was good to bring kids to. Late on Moday, we discovered a flyer that came home from school that would have been awesome -stage coach rides, mock fights, canons being set off.
