Saturday started out with football in the morning! Nora and I walked over to the school park while Bishop was practicing and then came back to watch his "game"! I'm glad we made it back for the game, because he scored 2 touchdowns!
This is one of my favorite pictures--it's not unusual for the kids to start running towards the wrong endzone--thankfully the refs and even the opposing coaches are there to help out! :)

After football we drove down to Owatonna and had lunch at my parents. After lunch we went to bury my Grandpa's ashes. It was just our immediate family, so it was a nice, casual ceremony. After the pastor said a few words they put his urn in the ground and we all placed some dirt in the hole. The kids kept going back for more handfuls and it made for a special time. Bishop was excited to be able to throw in a worm--Great Grandpa would have gotten a chuckle out of that!

This headstone was given by the US Army. It is beautiful and very well deserved!

Bishop had quite a few questions regarding the urn/burial (is Gpa's head in there? Where is his blood? Are people buried so they can live again underground?). It must be confusing for kids to understand the process of cremation. We were thankful to have a nice day to perform his burial. It was quite windy, but after all the rain we had last week, it could have been much worse!
We all went back to play at my parents after the burial and it was nice to all be together! It's been sad and different not going to visit him when we're in town (Easter, especially), but he's in a better place now, so that makes it easier.
