Memorial Day

We had such a nice time this Memorial Day weekend camping on our property with friends. Our friends Pat, Tammy and their kids camped with us. Kara had her friend Katrina to camp with, Alex had his friend Hunter and Brittnie had Hannah. Sunday night the neighbor kids also camped with our little ones. We had a bonfire every night with yummy food- especially the smores! Some of the kids went snipe hunting (Kara, Katrina and Brittnie) to Alexs' amusement- LOL! The kids also rode four wheelers. Kara even enjoyed riding with Katrina-that was a first! :)
Memorial Day we went to the East Jordan Memorial Day Parade. Sharity and Ryerson marched with their Little League Team, and Brittnie, Christine and Hannah carried flowers in the parade. Sharity also got to carry flowers to the lake for the ceremony honoring those who lost their lives at sea. We then went to the beach to try out our new paddle boat and to cook out and play beach games. It was such a fun filled Memorial Day weekend! :)
Most importantly though, we took the time to remember those who have sacrificed both present day and in the past, to make this the free country that we all live in and enjoy the blessings of living in today. God Bless the USA!
