Weekends like these are sure nice. An extra day off work for Tob, an extra long weekend to play, and most importantly a weekend on to focus on all of our loved ones who have moved on and to recall all of our wonderful memories of them. We started with taking a long walk around the lake and to the park at daybreak. Chicago came with us and gave us a run for our money by jumping in the lake to play with the ducks. Good times. Josh and the girls came with us and we really enjoyed some sun. On Sunday we took our annual drives up north to all of the Graves. Joel and Tessa came down and joined us and we had a nice picnic at the pavilion. At each of the stops we would sit around and just recount memory after memory of Grandpas and Grandmas and aunts and uncles and all of our loved ones. We also went to see Todd and visit with him for a bit. Somehow we fit some baseball tournament in there as well. I love this tradition. I never want to stop. It helps me feel close to them and I miss them all so much. How grateful we are for the gospel and our knowledge that families are forever.
