tradition

Every year for Memorial Day we celebrate by going hiking.  It's always so much fun and although we didn't know if we would have time to, we made the decision to just go for it.  As per usual, it was so much fun.  It has rained here all weekend, so the trails were pretty muddy and slippery, but it was fun, regardless.  Hiking is one of my favorite out door activities, and I especially love it when we all go out together.  There are always many laughs had when us six go on an adventure. 

Thank you to all the veterans and those fighting to protect this beautiful country.  Dad served in the navy right after high school, so Memorial Day is always special to us.  We love this holiday and always love to celebrate those who have helped protect the land of the red, white, and blue.  I think I go for all of us when I say there should be more than one holiday recognizing our soldiers. 

My confession: I may look like a city girl through and through, but I love spending time out in nature.  And hiking is one of my favorite ways to do that.  Happy Memorial Day.
