In honor of Memorial Day, we talked about Grandpa Chet a little bit. I pulled out a picture book about him and told the boys a few stories. They seemed somewhat bored. There are a lot of black and white pictures in the book. Ricky’s ears totally perked up though when I mentioned the Navy and that Dad served in the Philippines. Ricky said, “Hey I’ve heard about them!”
I was kind of surprised but said okay and was ready to go on. Ricky needed to elaborate though, “Yeah! In the Bible! That guy David and the giant. The Philippines.”
The three older boys colored flags so we could decorate Grandpa Chet’s headstone.
It was quite chilly and rainy today so Kevin stayed home with the two babies and I took Ricky and Billy to the cemetery.
Ricky kept telling me that he was freezing and Billy wanted to go around and “look at some more rocks.”
