Grandma's Memorial

Our lives have been so busy preparing for event after event. I have truly enjoyed the labor of love involved in the preparation for my grandmother's memorial service. I loved seeing my family and enjoyed the stories and memories shared in her honor. I love my family and am grateful for all the work put in to honoring my grandmother's memory. Here are some pictures from the weekend!

Below: Kaitlin was told to NOT go in the water because it was too cold. She took full advantage of my cousin, Becca, and plowed right into the frigid ocean. Poor Becca kept following Kaitlin into the water to 'save her' because Kaitlin was claiming to be helpless. At one point, Becca was carrying Kitlin into shore and got hit full in the back by a wave. I felt so terrible! Luckily, there was a bonfire to warm everyone up!

Below: Being uncooperative... trying to scramble her way back into the water. I am using as much strangth as I can without making a strained face.
