In our town there is a 20 acre sunflower field that is planted every year (with more than 2 million seeds) in memory of a family who lost their 7 year old daughter to a childhood brain tumor. Now it serves as a place to raise awareness for childhood cancer. You can go and take all the pictures you want and they collect donations, which go to the finding a cure for her particular cancer. As you walk along the path, there are pictures of all the children who have lost their lives to that specific cancer. It is heart breaking. But, her family has done an amazing job of passing on her legacy, raising awareness and funds, and bringing joy to so many other's peoples lives. I hope that we, and that none of you ever have to go through what that poor family and tons of other families have gone through. We are so blessed to have two HEALTHY, happy and sweet boys :) If you want to read more about "Prayers from Maria", the link to the website is listed below.
Here are some of our pictures from the Sunflower field...
This year we planted our own sunflowers at our house. They were huge! They were much taller than I was! Here is Landon standing by them.
