Memorial Day.... It's always been kind of a weird holiday to me. We're supposed to honor and mourn our loved ones who have passed away, and then we turn around and have a party (BBQs, pool parties, etc). A little confusing, but oh well. :o) Like most other Americans, we also had a bi-polar celebration this weekend. On Sunday we visited my Grandpa Johnson's grave and Quentin's Grandpa Stephens' grave. Each year, the girls talk about how much they miss their grandpas and how they know they're watching over them. Grandpa Johnson passed away before any of his great-grandkids were born, and Grandpa Stephens passed away when Kiera was just a few months old. But it's nice to have a day to reflect and ponder the meaning of life, why we're here, where we're going, and how we have been influenced by generations of people before us. Deep, I know.
On Monday we had Quentin's family over for a BBQ. The weather was stormy so we ended up eating inside but later were able to play Frisbee Golf in the yard and go for a walk near the Farmington Pond. It was perfect - it smelled so good after the rain and made me yearn to go camping!!

What a nice weekend. I love the pictures and four generations and the picking of flower and root, that cracks me up. Did you take that one home ?
VERY cute!
