Memorial Day Tradition

Memorial day is always a fun time for Ryan and I because his Grandpa Hunt is buried in the Paragonah cemetery. Growing up he and his family would always come south for memorial day to put up the flag on his grandpa's grave at sunrise, which is a tradition at the Paragonah cemetery. Since moving to Cedar for college Ryan has carried on this tradition by himself and then I joined him 5 yrs. ago when we started dating. I always love doing this with him because we get to watch the sunrise together and it is always so pretty and peaceful at 5 in the morning. Another perk is meeting up with his great aunts Janet and Wanda who are still so funny and feisty! I love to sit and listen to all of their stories about growing up in a SMALL town many years ago and all of the things they got away with.
Here are a few pics from this years Memorial Day Sunrise Flag Raise...
