After watching Pixar's Coco movie a few years ago, the Walkers have celebrated "Day of the Dead", a Mexican holiday associated with All Saints Day...which has the idea of giving honor to family members who have passed away. So with that in mind, we visited my parents' graves and shared memories of them, as well as stopping by Amy's gravesite too. Our final day together was on Halloween, so we planned a FULL day! First heading to South Haven since Jenny had been schooling the kids all week about Michigan, we wanted to make sure they saw a lighthouse and enjoyed Lake Michigan. Cold doesn't matter to kids, so they ran barefoot on the beach and climbed the dunes....possibly 42 degrees. Then on to visit some special friends who had treats ready for our dressed up warriors. We ended the day with a firepit in the driveway, passing out candy to our 200+ treaters. It was a gorgeous night, and a wonderful end to their visit. My descriptive words for these kiddos at this stage: Evy- planner Abbott - designer Elliott - adventurer.
