Memorial Day 2012

OK, technically, it was Sunday evening and not actually Memorial Day, but the visit to the cemetery was for Memorial Day so I guess it still counts.  Thankfully, the weekend rain had stopped and the sun had come out.  We met Grandma Cathy at the cemetery to visit some family.
Grandma Cathy brought flowers and all the supplies for cleaning up the headstones.  Everyone was put to work.





Once Peter was done "helping", he found other things to occupy his time.  I'm not sure it was entirely appropriate for him to plunk down on this gravestone to make the pinwheel spin, but he was having a good time.
I love the puffed cheeks in this one.
Another one of my favorites.  Peter loves just hanging out with his older siblings.
Duffy showing off the "roly poly" bug she found.
Amelia tried to rescue this flower that fell off.



After visiting the Cunningham relatives, we stopped in to see my Grandma Backman as well.  We're going to have to plan for some more visits to catch the rest of the relatives, but it's something that we all enjoy doing.  There is something so beautiful about the cemetery especially covered with flowers as far as the eye can see.  Happy Memorial Day!
