We have a little tradition of putting flowers on "forgotten graves" on Memorial Day. We place them on the graves of soldiers and little children (mainly those who've passed on long ago and have no
family around anymore). Heidi Anne loved to put the flowers one the graves and was great at finding soldiers and the children. After she would place the flowers she would say "Thank-You". Sometimes she would just say "Welcome".
For the most part she was very respectful and enjoyed walking at the cemetery. But when we passed one grave in particular, she became very scared, and just wanted to be held by us. After we were a few feet away, she wanted back down, and started handing out flowers again.

We also went to the Tot Lot--a toddler sized park--which Heidi Anne LOVED. Everything is just perfect for a toddler to do all on their own safely, and in a non-boring way.
Look at her on the bouncy drawbridge
Running up to the towers
Running up to the towers
And going down on the slide. All on her own!
Okay--Maybe I was spotting her--But just a little....
