On the last day of school we headed to Niobrara to camp and see Great Grandma. She has never seen Max so we were excited to finally be able to make the trip. We arrived and found out that all of the campsites were reserved and so we ended up having the rent a cabin. The boys fished and Will and Jack both caught one. Hannah hung out with me and Max took a nap at Great Grandma's house and scooted himself off of the bed and onto the floor. Luckily, the bed was low to the ground! Darren and the kids made smores on the grill since no campfires were allowed outside of the cabins. None of the kids would eat the marshmallows but they sure enjoyed burning them. The kids rode bikes and scooters and wanted to stay for days.

We returned 1 day early due to the "no campsites/cabin situation". I took Will in to the Dr's on Memorial day to get medicine for an ear infection and then to the cemetery. Will has always been very interested in cemeteries and heaven. I think mainly because of Sam and Shelby dying. We picked up flowers to put on Great Grandma & Grandpa Villotta's grave and then we talked about what we would see. Will was in awe at all of the flowers and people. He asked a lot if there were babies and kids buried in the cemetery and where that part was. I did not take him because I did not want him to think that kids die all of the time. When he gets a little older he will understand more. He placed the flags on the grave and then we said a prayer. We walked around a little and he asked me if we could come back every day. I told him we could come back but not every day. It is nice to be able to really show him 1st hand what a certain holiday is all about instead of just the fun things that go along with it. Next year I would like all of us to go.
