We got to visit Katie and Kevin and their cute kiddos on Memorial Weekend. It's a tradition for them to get flowers and place them on headstones at the cemetery that don't have any. It was so cute to watch them walk around and pick off a flower from the bunch and adorn a stranger's headstone. It was humbling to see grave-sites of soldiers that were
from some of the first major wars.

There was a zoo nearby for 5$ a person so we took advantage of it. I realized a few things...
I don't like birds that can walk around freely and are bigger than a soccer ball
and...
Monkeys kind of scare me.
Other than that I got a nice tan and the kids had a good time!
We love visiting NC and are so glad we have lots of family close by.
I hope everyone had a Happy Memorial Day weekend!

What a fun weekend! That is an awesome idea of Katie and her family. Her kids will grow up with a lot of respect for the military. North Carolina sures looks pretty right now too. I bet the kids loved seeing you guys!
that's great that y'all were able to go see family! looks like it was a fun trip. how is ben? brandon told me that he has pneumonia. i hope he feels better soon. can i bring y'all anything?
How can you not like monkeys? I mean, the cute little chimpanzees are cute. I can see you being scared of the baboons with their red and blue swollen butts and all.
I'm jealous that you got to see the nieces and nephews. Good thing that you post pics since Katie never posts on her blog anymore. Oh and we need to get together soon! You say that its nice that you have family near by but we haven't hing out with you guys in way too long. Is there a good night in the next week or 2 that we could have you guys over for dinner? I promise I will make a new recipe instead of the usual.
It looks beautiful. I just got back to Arizona, and it turns out that Arizona is...dry. And brown.
what a great tradition!
also, LOVE that bottom pic! thinking on ben on that day. love and miss you ben.
Come back already would you! We had a blast. Thanks for the hint Lori:) Ryley is out of school in two days and I'm hoping life will slow down a little and I can actually catch up. If not we'll see you all the 4th of July!
