Memorial Day Weekend

I hope you all had a great Memorial day weekend, its been a few days since I have posted!! Summer always gets away from me and the days are packed with adventures. We are planning out a big camping trip for next week and getting everything ready. Wanted to share one of my sons and I traditions for Memorial day.

Every year we visit the graves of soldiers and pass out flags etc. to honor them, we say each name out loud and at the end we say a closing prayer of Thanksgiving. I want my son to know the true meaning of this three day holiday. We do not BBQ, we honor those who served our country so that we can be free to live in ours.

Enjoy.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend, Spent at a Grave

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend, what did you do?



Monday my Son and I went to one of Denver's largest grave yards and took 50 American flags with us and stuck them on US Military Graves. We usually do something every year to honor Memorial Day and this year I wanted to teach my son about what the true meaning of memorial day is. I am vey thankful for all the service men and women and for my freedom. There was a dedicated section of the grave for all Military soldiers, it was beautiful. Every grave had a flag and then we added ours. It was a beautiful day and felt like my son now understands it. It was really nice to have that moment of silence out there, I crouched down and got eye level with all those stones, puts things into perspective.


Thank you to everyone who has served our country & God bless you.
