A family tradition, the Sandwich Fair....would prove to be difficult to go to this year. But we knew we wanted to continue this tradition that we love so much and have shared so many beautiful memories w/Lisa at.....So, here we go, on another adventure without Lisa, just trying to make the best of life and create new memories. I can't believe we went w/o her. It just doesn't seem possible that she wasn't there, in person, with us.
Natalie, Grandma Jane, Uncle Robbie and Noah
Sydney and Amanda ride in style
Hey Sydney!
We had planned on visiting the memorial shop that sets up at the fair every year, first thing, to look for a headstone, together, as a family. Just last year, Lisa and I stood at the cinnamon roll stand right next to this memorial booth, together. Anyway, this is the headstone we picked out for Lisa. It's a beautiful heart in a pinkish tone for the stone. She deserves only the best.

Sydney liked it too
Every year there is a new little house that someone makes, a miniature house with miniature furniture and everything. I seek this out and I sit there and look at it in awe. It's so adorable and at the same time beautiful....always take a picture too!
Amanda was happy for the fan at the Tupperware booth
