Memorial Day Breakfast Monday 8-10 at the stake center.

Saturday:  Tony and Jesse to the park.  This is the grate over the water overflow at the park.  Water was about six inches below the grate and the boys were reaching down to it, and seeing dead bugs.  Marin and Joshua came over to play, and we took Caleb to Natalie's party.  Tony insisted we stay and play a while.
Tony and Jesse: Best Friends

Tony and I went strait to Woodward Park after church because I didn't want to miss the flyovers or the tribute to the Forester family.  This is the press announcement: As a tribute to fallen hero Air Force Senior Airman Mark A. Forester, Travis Air Force Base is sending a C-17 Globemaster flown by Major Alex Pelbath to fly-over the “Not Forgotten” event on Sunday May 27th at Woodward Park at approximately 3:15 PM.  As the plane flew over, A young lady "Cheyenne" sang the "Star Spangled Banner."

This is the "Coming Home" program of Mark Forester.

Twice during the day I said the "Pledge of Allegiance" with Manteca.  Not many cities do that.  Tony and I were joined by the  rest of the family, Miranda brought us lunch.  We were joined by friends from the ward, including our neighbors and the Binghams.  Charity and Anthony even showed up.  Sheri and I and the boys came home early, leaving the older kids to see the concert and fireworks.  It was a warm day and I was dehydrated.

This is the Memorial Day Breakfast put on by the high priest of the Northland Ward; good friends, good times.
