I love cemeteries and taking photos of unusual gravestones.
Debra and I went to Somerset and looked at a couple of cemeteries and then a couple in Hopwood.
On May 31, 1889, a neglected dam and a phenomenal storm led to a catastrophe in which 2,209 people died.
This is a grave from a young man who died in that flood.
We went to the Jewish Cemetery and the Founding Fathers Cemetery in Hopwood. I had tears in my eyes from this tombstone…so sad!
On a happier note, we bought an old fashioned ice cream maker, with the crank and made ice cream with the gang.
I loved watching the little ones turning the crank!
Cayleigh wondering Is it ready yet?
Hayden seemed to enjoy it
David and Hayden, man, Hayden is not afraid of anyone!
I can’t believe David use to be the size of Hayden!
My sweet son!
