Memorial Day 2009

Every year we get the opportunity to go to a family BBQ with the REES family. Grandpa Hal and his 5 brothers and their families. We first make a trip up to the Croydon cemetery to visit Grandpa Hal. Kristian was cute. We tell him that Grandpa Hal lives up in the stars with Aunt Christy, and Heavenly Father, so when we said we'd be going to see Grandpa Hal, he said, "and Heavenly Father too?"... such a sweet boy. It is a hard thing to fully comprehend...
Hal Royal Rees: March 1, 1950 - March 6, 1990

After the cemetery we went back to the Rees Ranch for lunch and activities. The food was great! The family was even better, and the kids had a great time playing outside. I decided a slide show was the best way to show the days events. Kristian couldn't get enough of the "Pony-Horse" that was there giving rides. Even when it wasn't his turn for a ride on the pony, he would still walk next to it while the other kids had their turn. They played in the sand box, and the little playhouse. They kicked the ball, played with water balloons and squirt guns, and had a turn at the fish pond. (Kristian was excited about the truck he won). They had a fun time running and playing and were completely exhausted by the time we finished and decided to head home. It was a great way to spend Memorial Day and we're so glad we were able to spend some time with the Rees Family! It was great seeing everyone and their growing families!
