"When you go home, tell them of us
and say, for their tomorrow, we gave our today."
In Memory of those who have died for our Country..
Before I started my post, I wanted to put that saying at the beginning that I saw on another blog. It is just a beautiful reminder of what this day stands for. Our Memorial Day was not the traditional one. We don't have family around us and were unable to go to be with family. So, we still wanted to do something with our little family and here in our backyard is Antelope Island and they were having this Cowboy Poetry and Music sort of festival at the Ranch on Antelope Island. So we thought it would be something interesting for us to do today. It was really neat to see and listen to the different bands and there poetry that they did. The boys had fun doing the little activities they had and climbing the trees.
As we came into the park it was incredible to see all the water that was there. We were out there about 4 years ago and it was dry. But, thanks to all the rain this year it is no longer dry and the snow hasn't even melted yet.. scary! After the Ranch we went to go up by the visitor center and on the other side is the beach area of Antelope Island and I remember it as a kid with lots of water, but 4 years ago again it was pretty dry and the water was a long way out. Well, this time it was all the way up to the beach area and just an amazing site. Even though it wasn't our usual day of visiting loved ones that have past on, we got to enjoy some family time and a relaxing day.
