Zac snoozing in the car.
We had a busy weekend with family! Saturday morning Ryan and I loaded up the kids (and the trunk picnic table, diaper bag, toys for Zac, snacks...) and headed down to Osceola for a family reunion (my side). It was a 100 miles each way. The kids did great! We were both kind of nervous- we even packed earplugs, haha! The girls slept the whole way and Zac did for the most part. There was a rented shelter at a park. The weather was so beautiful! The kids played on the playground while the adults visited. It was great seeing everyone. Unfortunately, the reunions have gotten smaller and smaller...
Afterward we went to the Lowry Cemetery to visit Grandpa Settle and Aunt Charlotte. We pulled weeds and Mimi Donna, Aunt Becky, and Cousin Karen put new wreaths and flowers on their headstones. I'm glad we were all their to pay our respects. On a side note- you gotta love Hannah- whose 9 or 10 years old. It was all quiet when all of a sudden she blurts out "Daugherty's dead?!" There was a huge headstone with someone with that last name on it. She has no filter whatsoever!
We loaded back in the car and headed home. I was so exhausted, I could have gone to bed when we got back. Of course, that didn't happen!
Sunday we did our grocery shopping. On the way to Ryan's folks, we decided to go to Park Lawn Cemetery to visit Ryan's grandparents. That is a huge cemetery, but also very beautiful. The road winds around and there are ponds throughout. We saw even saw geese wandering on the grass. The spot is so peaceful where his grandparents are buried, by the water. We then had dinner at my in-laws. Zac and his cousin Matt have so much fun playing together. It's fun to watch to boys play together! It was a great weekend spending time with family, those here physically and spirituality.
