Since Parker spent the rest of the weekend with us, we took him along to the cemeteries today. At Pioneer Cemetery he was very interested in the different graves and who the people were and how they were related to him. He wanted to know what happened to his Great-Grandma and Grandpa, did they die of old age or were they sick, so we talked about that. I showed him Aunt Hilya's name and Mom's name and explained how Emmy's name is both of their middle names, and how his Dad's middle name came from my Dad. He had a lot of questions about the family and also about cemeteries in general. I told him I thought he had a lot of his Great-Grandpa Piercy's traits, as he was a logger and loved being outside like Parker does. At Mt. Brynion cemetery, Papa talked to his Dad about Parker, which was both sweet and funny at the same time. Parker noticed that Papa's Mom passed away when he (Parker) was 1 year old and asked if she had ever met him.
The rest of the day we spent working in the yard and playing basketball.
