It's Memorial Day weekend, and Elizabeth and I took the kids up to the farm to spend it with Eben and Amy.  It ended up raining quite a bit, but Nolan really had fun playing up there.  Grandpa Eben took him for a tractor ride, and Nolan even got to play with some baby kittens.  The main reason we went back though was to pay our respects to Lynn for Memorial Day.  I am going to try to leave a different type of flower at her grave every year (for either Memorial Day or Mother's Day).  Last year I left a a bouquet of daises, and this year I planted some Asiatic Lilies.  The Lilies I left this year were "Paprika Sunrise" as they were yellow in color with a reddish speckle on them.

Here are the flowers I left this year.  They should be a perennial that is able to grow back every year.

Nolan watched us leave flowers there, so then he started picking some dandelions and laying them be Lynn's grave.  It was pretty cute.
