We have been trying to teach our children a little more about what each holiday truly means. The latest holiday being Memorial Day we have talked a lot about the military men and other service men fighting for our freedom and that some die while doing so. We have not lost anyone in this way but do have many relatives that have served for our country. So we started a new tradition this year...I signed the whole family up for the run/walk of remembrance 1 miler here in American Fork. Adey ran some with me while the others walked and I ran ahead. It was nice to get out as a family and enjoy this beautiful day remembering those in general who have died fighting for our freedom and defending our country!
Then we spent the day doing family things. First, we went to Eagle Mountain where our property is to see the progress around us and walk through some of the models similar to ours. Then we surprised the girls and went to our favorite yogurt place to get a cold treat. We found out they are changing the name of the place from u swirl to froyo. I make sure to always have a coupon when we go. We get them from the mailer calendar we get every summer or fall. Makes it a little bit more affordable. But it is so yummy! I got the pistachio gelato and it was divine!
Lastly we pulled out our pool and camp chairs and the BBQ and flew out kite and had a few cousins over and the spent the rest of the day outside. I love my family and making memories with them!
Happy Memorial Day 2016 🇺🇸
