Memorial Day

I hope you were able to pause your day and in some way give honor and remembrance to those who have died for our freedom. We took Daniel to a Memorial Day service at Cave Hill cemetary. It was a good time for him to learn about the sacrifices that have been made for our freedoms.




We also planted a tomato plant. I thought this would be a good science project for Daniel this summer - to care for the plant and see how much it might grow:




And we did a little bit of swimming at the local pool. This child is an absolute fish - he loves the water!! I didn't want to put him in swimming lessons last summer and completely overwhelm him, but he is totally ready this summer. He has no fear. He approaches swimming the same way he has the rest of life - jumps right in with total enthusiasm!



On Saturday we went on a canoe trip. It was Daniel's first time in a canoe and he did great! He was a bit timid at first, but it was a beautiful day. We took a picnic, skipped rocks, splashed in the water and paddled 7 miles down the Blue River.
