Although the weather was way cold and it was a long drive for a short trip; we were so happy to visit with our wonderful family if even for a sad occasion.
The boys were great, which is always nice. They look a little bored here, but I promise that was not the case. They always find something to get into and have fun with it just took a little time. Spencer got sick before we left and it turned into a little bit of pneumonia by the time we got to Ohio, but luckily that has mostly passed. 
Although a little hard to see here, but the people from the most extremely cold climates are wearing short sleeve shirts even though it was freezing. (Canada - Aunt Susan, and Garett's cousins Gerald and Chuck from South Dakota). 
To avert the meltdown, Spencer and Dad with ipod touch. Spencer is basically a video game junky so we hide it from him most of the time even though all the games are educational. 
Great Uncle John and a visibly pregnant Rachel with bundled up Spencer at the cemetery. 
Calvary Cemetery is where Garett's grandparents and great grandparents are buried. From the place where Garett's mom's ashes were buried we could see many important places from her childhood: the Catholic elementary school where she attended (the windows to one of her classrooms actually looked out at the cemetery), the Church where she was first married, the building where she took piano lessons and we were one street over from the house she grew up in. It was all very nice.
