This year we spent Memorial Day with Rick's family. Grandma White had a party at her house. She misses her husband and enjoyed this chance to honor him. We had a nice dinner and visited for awhile, but since it was so wet we couldn't go to the cemetery as easy with little children. She likes to have us release balloons. The kids LOVE it. We did it from her back yard this time, which worked out better as they didn't get caught in the trees like at the cemetery. Everyone takes their balloon and writes something on it. Their name or the name of someone they've lost, or a little note to them.
Rick especially misses his Dad now that he's married and we have children. He just wishes that we could have known him. I wanted to put pictures of his dad and our grandpas who have passed away but I don't have any on the computer, so I'll have to do that another time. Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day.
This was toward the end Darren pulled himself up to this touch lamp. Notice him smacking his lips. He was hilarious and we missed the funniest part, but you get the idea.
