Day 48 of 365

The kids went to Ross Park Water Park today with their fabulous sitter – Celia.  They stayed all day and had an absolute blast!  As soon as I picked them up, they asked me when I could take them.  We are so lucky we have Celia in our lives.  She is a second mom to my kids and she loves them so much.  They love going over to her house and I feel so grateful for her and her influence in my children’s lives.

For dinner, we went to Wendy’s with Memi and Papa.  On the way home, I decided to take the kids by one of the cemetery’s in our area so I could show them where my Grandpa Draper is buried.  He died when my mom was only 10 months old.  He served in World War II.  He died of rheumatic fever before his 29th birthday.  I’ve heard so many wonderful stories about him and can’t wait to meet him again.

It was interesting to me the questions my kids asked.  They wanted to know how tall he was and if they were standing on him when we were at the gravesite.  Carson wanted to know what the difference was between a grave yard and a cemetery….  Questions, questions…  I love my kids!

Trying to get a good picture of the moon.
I played around with the settings on my
camera - still not what I would like.  Can't
wait until I get a new one!
