Evergreen Cemetery Field Trip

The last week of October, we decided to take a quick trip to the oldest cemetery in Jacksonville.  I mean, Halloween and the Day of the Dead were just days away.  So, of COURSE we had to go!  The boys had a good time checking out just how old some of the gravestones were, figuring out how old some of the people were when they died, and doing some gravestone rubbings.

Picnic in the cemetery

Subtracting dates to find out ages of people when they died.

Keeping busy by playing in the dirt.

Drawing a picture of one of the gravestones.

Turns out it was a 3 month old baby.  Hence, the lamb on top.

Checking out a cool mausoleum.

And that was our field trip to the oldest cemetery in Jacksonville!  I'll end this post with a few pictures I took for my portfolio while we there:
