A trip to Madison for Memorial weekend, with a special purpose, that I will reveal later... We left Ormond Beach later than planned, as normal... and ended up spending the night at Aunt Cindy's and Uncle Danny's house. Just to make sure they left later then they had planned the next morning ;-)

The swing that Alex made for Marlee two or three years ago was broken and Cindy and Danny started to make a new one in the same spot.

Farfar got the older boys a new toy, oh sorry, I mean, a new chainsaw, that they needed to try out.

So the reason for all of us to meet in Madison this Memorial weekend was to say a last Good bye to Uncle Doug, while burying his ashes there. Uncle Doug loved our land in Madison and I am thankful for every memory I have from him there! We all agreed to name our place there "Doug's Place" in his memory.
 |
| Preparing "the heart" of Doug's Place |
 |
| After the ashes were put in the ground everyone got a turn to cover it |
 |
| Everyone but (cousin Andy who was sleeping, and Caroline, who took the picture) |
 |
| Yummy yummy ribs for dinner!!!! |
 |
| Everyone contributed to a wonderful dinner, but Aunt Jackie and Uncle Danny did the most preparations |
 |
| The cake... |
 |
| He has no idea what a yummy dinner he is missing... |
There were several uninvited (natural) guests at the party, too... Some of the biggest spiders I have ever seen (except for the zoo)!!
 |
| We were watching this giant wrap up a peanut before deciding it was no good and letting it go |
OUTSTANDING TINA! One of your best yet. Great photos! All 20 of us "campers" had such a great time Memorial Day weekend at Doug's Place. The number of "baby sitters" we had was fantastic - everybody took a turn holding a different kid! You did forget to mention that Cory and I beat the %$#@ out of Troy and Braden in cork ball but who's counting :-)) Love, Farfar
