Memorial Day
We kept to our Memorial Day tradition and woke up early to go to a memorial. This year we chose the Manassas Battlefield two reasons. Nate has been interested in the Civil War lately, and Matt had to be back at 8:00 to go to the temple with the youth of our ward, so we needed to be close to home. We literally dragged the boys out of bed at 5:15, but once we started our walk they were awake and having fun. It was a beautiful morning and we walked along a boardwalk and then up to a meadow. Nate told us a little about the battle of Bull Run and we talked about how blessed we are to live in this country. We really are so thankful for all who have sacrificed so that we can enjoy so many freedoms.

I love that you take your boys to a memorial each year-what better way is there to honor those who have served for our country and to teach your boys at the same time. Not to mention it's a great time to take cute pictures of them too!
hope you had a great birthday and that your bbq went well.
