We had a good Memorial Day.
First we had breakfast at home. Next we went to the zoo for the balance of the morning. The girls enjoyed the monkeys, the merry-go-round, and the giraffes. Jana enjoyed the train ride and the family-together time. I enjoyed the nice weather (not too hot, even just before noon when we left for home) and the price ($2 for the whole trip!).
After lunch at home, we finished staining the new wood for our gate. The girls even helped out. For scripture study, we read about Alma’s conversion in Alma 36. In their picture Book of Mormon, the girls read (and asked many questions) about Nephi and Lehi not getting burned in the fire.
Later, I took the girls swimming at Jana’s dad’s house. Jana picked up some pizza, and we ate together on a blanket. Now, it’s quarter to ten, and I’m the only one awake in a house of 3 tired girls.
I appreciated the American flag posted in our yard by the ward deacons, in remembrance of Memorial Day. I am grateful for all those who have fought, died, and sustained, injuries defending freedom and liberty for the United States and all throughout the world. My prayers tonight will be for the loved ones they have left behind. God bless them.
