Memorial Day

Jacksen woke up knowing we had big plans for our Memorial Day....and that the weather was actually cooperating!


Well, doesn't everybody eat breakfast while wearing their sister's shades and a Superman hat?!

After breakfast, we joined Grandma and Papa McCauley for a tour of our family's gravesites. It was nice to remember those who are no longer with us, but remain in our hearts.

Here is a picture of Marc and the kiddos planting some pretty purple flowers at Great Grandpa Morrison's grave in Forestvale Cemetary:

There is a neat little wishing well in Forestvale so Megan threw in her penny and made a wish!

Of course, she couldn't tell me her wish, but I sure hope it comes true!

We then went on to Resurrection Cemetary to visit the graves of Great Grandpa Chuck, Great Grandma Maudie, Great Great Grandma Flo, and Great Grandpa Dick.






Jacksen loved all of the pretty flowers; however, he was soon overcome by starvation and fatigue so he hitched a ride on his daddy's shoulders and we were off to McDonald's for lunch!



We had a wonderful morning! It's important to remember all of our ancestors who are still a part of our lives....after all, without them there would be no McCauley kids!
There is another person who is dear to our hearts, but no longer with us, Philip Baucus. He gave his life fighting for our country in Iraq. He was a great person and we will always remember him. Thanks, Philip!
