Planting Flags

I have always wanted to plant flags at a veterans cemetery for a Holiday. This year we decided the kids were old enough to understand what was going on and why it is important that we honor our veterans. We explained to them about Memorial Day and why we celebrate it. They were very excited to get to do this. Once we got there, we gathered our flags and picked an area to plant. The boys had a little trouble staying off of the headstones. They were so cute when we reminded them not to step on them, they would look down and apologize to the stone! It was so cute! We decided that this was something that we would like to do for all holidays, and are now making a family tradition! There is nothing more amazing than looking out at a veterans cemetery and seeing thousand's of flags flying! Very moving!
