I adopted a local pioneer cemetery in an effort to complete the documentation for that cemetery on findagrave.com.

So in spite of being as busy as I am, I just kept thinking it probably wouldn't take me too long to finish the job, and the cemetery is near my house, so I feel like I have to do it.
I took the kids there yesterday and I photographed maybe half of one of the four gardens. Mae doesn't like running around on grass too much yet, so I ended up having to hold her in one arm and my camera with the other.
