Decorating Graves

I love Memorial Day.  It has always been a big day for my family.  My whole life we have gone to Wellington, Utah to decorate all of the Pinegar graves.  It has given appreciation and love for my ancestors and I still love hearing the stories of my great grandparents.  We don't go there as often now, and I have my grandparents graves to decorate.  On Sunday evening we went to Spanish Fork to my grandpa's grave.  I love that cemetery because there are so many flags for veterans there.  My grandpa passed away in August so this is the first year that he had a flag.  The kids were so excited to find his flag amid the sea of flags.

 There is a ditch that runs the length of the cemetery and there was a tiny bit of water in it.  The kids had a ball playing in it.  I loved it because I use to do the same thing as a little girl.

  We also went to the Orem Cemetery to my Nana's grave.  She died almost 13 years ago.  I love taking my kids here so that they can learn about her and know what she was like as we get together and talk about her.
