Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we had two things planned--go to a picnic with a bunch of friends and then go to the Memorial Day ceremony they have at one of the cemeteries here.

The picnic was super fun. So fun that we were pretty lame and ended up blowing off the ceremony. I feel bad about it. We had been talking to the girls about Memorial Day and soldiers in general and war and people in our families that were in the military and fought in wars and then we didn't go. But in our defense, we were hanging out with very cool and interesting people, there were tons of kids there and the weather was *so* nice. The cookies we took (cranberry orange) were a big hit, even though we ran out of white flour and had to substitute in some whole wheat flour. Healthy!

The other bad thing was I left my camera on a picnic table. Jamie drove back over later to check and see if it was still there (he's such a nice husband) and it wasn't. Fingers crossed that someone picked it up for me!
