Memorial Day 2012

We love Memorial Day.  

Yes, it's awesome to be together as a family, but it's such a great opportunity to remember those who have given their lives for our country and our freedom. 
We have a family tradition of heading over to the cemetery to pay our respects to those buried there who served our country.  This year, E was old enough to understand, and we had some very tender discussions about life and freedom and sacrifice.


After visiting the cemetery, we took a drive to a local regional park.  This view was amazing!

Cutest girls ever.

This was little B's first experience with a carrot.




My gorgeous girl.



I remember going on this carousel as a kid.  E wasn't so sure to start with.
And it didn't get much better!  Her face cracks me up.


So relieved to have it over!

And of course we had to take a ride on the steam train.




Big B caught this lovely shot of me, but Little B's face is so adorable, I just had to include it.  Ignore me.  Please.


Awesome day.
