Memorial Day in Minnesota









Monday was the Memorial Day long weekend day. Memorial Day is a day set aside to commemorate those who served in the military and gave their lives serving the country. As with most US Holidays, this is a big event with lots of flags and parades etc. It also serves as the official kick off for summer with people getting out and doing all sorts of things preparing for the summer days ahead. Lots of prep work for camping and cottaging, lawn and garden work and if lucky like we were, just finding a way to soak up the sun.

Julie and I went out to the Zumbrota golf course and played nine holes in the heat. We decided to walk the course and .. note to selves.. make sure you carry water on the next outing as not all courses offer a beverage cart service; even on the extra hot days.

I took some photos of the flag ceremony setup at the Zumbrota Park and then a few pics of ... uhhhh.... what not to do on the golf course. Actually, my little princess did very well considering that she had not been out much over the past summer and I must say, her form was quite good - especially the photo of her teeing up the ball...

Life is Good!
