We are trying to start a tradition of going to the cemetery on Memorial Day and putting flowers on Grandpa Le Bel's grave and on Uncle Mark's grave. I really want my kids to understand what the holiday is about, especially since they are living through a war now. It makes it so important for them to understand that poeple have fought to protect our freedoms long before we were even here. It has been very moving and such an emotional experience going there on Memorial Day. They put flags next to every grave, and there are soooo many. The boys have tons of questions and definately make you think about the significance of the moment. Here are some pictures of th
e great afternoon.
