We had our family reunion for my mom's side of the family up in Beaver. It definitely was not the same without my grandma. We had it on the 24th of July which is celebrated bigger and better than the 4th of July. (at least in Beaver)
We started the day of with the parade. I don't think my kids saw to many of the floats because they were to busy trying to pick up the candy that was being thrown. After the parade we headed over to the park.

At the park there were bounce houses and bouncy slides. My kids just love these!
They had races and ate ICEE's. After we headed over do a different park and had lunch and the "Family Reunion"
Kam was trying so hard to blow bubbles but just wasn't very good at it.
It is always so good to see family. My cousin Jedd was there who I hadn't seen in about 10 years which was really nice to catch up. This year a lot of my aunts and uncles weren't there do to other family functions but I saw a lot of distant relatives. All the kids played very well together and enjoyed running around the park.
We went to the cemetery to see my grandmas headstone. I had seen it for the first time since she past just a couple of weeks prior. My grandma loved to sit and visit with people so the family had this bench made. It was beautiful.
My grandma was a nurse in the Navy and took such pride in our nation. She also has a flagpole next to her headstone. She was an amazing women!
