Memorial Day

The Sunday before Memorial Day my mom, Xander, Mara and I all went up to the Orem cemetary to put flowers on my dad's grave. It was so beautiful to see so many flowers!! It's nice that he is buried so close, but I really don't go very often, which is ok. I think of it as the fact that I have dealt with his death and have moved on, so why visit the cemetary, right? Anyway, we took some pics quickly before it rained :)

My mom and the kids at my dad's grave.

My kids at my grandfather's grave. Which is interesting, because it is only about 5 or 6 graves away from my dad's! So we don't have to go in search of it :)

For Memorial Day the city puts up flags for everyone buried in the cemetary that served in the armed forces! So there is always a flag for my grandpa. We didn't have to search for this one much either. I guess it's nice to have a last name that is towards the end of the alphabet!!
