2 years ago on February 23rd, Micheal was killed in Iraq. Every year, we don't do your usual "mourning". We go out and do what Micheal would want us to do. Amy calls Micheal's death his "graduation".
Our contribution.
Amy and Susan put up a new flag in their yard that day.
Looks good, if you ask me.
Kai helped Susan fold up the old flag.
It is the yearly tradition to write letters to Micheal, put them in the balloons and send them off to him.
I know both Amy and Susan are going to kill me for this close up but I love this picture.
We went and ate at Pirate Island, as we did last year. The kids love it and the food is good, go figure that one out. Normally places that have arcade games (Chuck-E-Cheese) have gross food. The kids got lots of tokens and had a blast.
Josh has some competition.
That night we went to Trafalga. It has lots of stuff, miniature golf, rock climbing, rides, laser tag, you name it. This picture was inside the miniature golf area.
Yeah, we tried rock climbing. I am so out of shape, not that that is any new news to me though. Kai got all the way to the top multiple times. Yeah, we are not even going to talk about where I made it.
We had so much fun. It was an eventful and emotional day. Josh couldn't be with us because John Deere was in town and he HAS to be there when they are in town. He was missed. Thank you Amy and Susan for such a great time. I love you both!

Ah great, more tears! What a fun day that was... you know what I mean. Micheal would want us to have fun. Get all the crying and blubbering out of the way in the early morning then it's on to pirates and rock climbing and spending lots of dough in the arcade. just the kind of day Micheal would love. Thank you so much for coming all the way down for it! It was so comforting and wonderful to have you there with us! And always, thanks for such awesome photos!!
