Memorial Weekend

We had a great weekend.  We spend it with Seth's sister Stephanie and the family in Yakima.  The drive was a bit long (Ella screamed the last 1.5 hours) but well worth it.     We went to visit Seth's Mom's grave.  She died 3.5 years ago and it has been along time since we visited the cemetery.  Here are the pictures of our Memorial Day.

While the flowers were being prepared we gathered around and told a few stories of Grandma.

We washed off the headstone and put fresh flowers next to it.  For those who don't know my Seth's brother Russ carved her headstone.  He did a great job.

Flowers for Grandma King.  The kids all said "We love you Grandma!"

The cemetery was filled with flags.  It was an awesome sight to see.  I thought I would get a picture with the kids standing in front of some.  They wouldn't hold still long enough though so this was the best I got.

Aubrey saw the older kids saluting she started doing it also.  So cute!

We stopped to visit my Grandma on the way home!  Ella wasn't too excited about it all.
What a fun weekend.  Thanks Steph and Wade!
