This year our family spent Memorial Day Weekend with my family in Orleans. My sister and her family hosted all five us in their beautiful home, as my mother was recovering from surgery which removed her kidney.
The days were packed with all kinds of activities, each one special in its own way. I can not think of a better way to remember and honor those that have gone before us than by truly LIVING. And that we did!
Tucker's first dip in a pool.
Ice cream sandwiches at Grandma's.
Tucker found his toes!

Chad and Nathan were brave enough to take the four big kiddos kayaking down the Republican.

Mason and Jentry getting along for the first time ever! :)

Grandpa Skinny and Grandma Violet Bose would have loved to have known these faces.

Jentry with Esther's stone as that was her Pioneer name in 4th Grade.

Early morning snuggles.
On the way home, we stopped for supper with Papa and Onnie. Papa had the touch for one tired Tucker.
