  Calypso's birthday went very well. We first got out there. The photographer got lost but my friend Summer form Foreverwarm brought her camera and my sil did too.

   We released half the balloons first and then we put the rest of her stuff in the urn vault. MIL and my mom dug the grave and then we buried her ashes. We did leave the top of the urn vault uncovered so that the monument company when they dig for the foundation won't dig it up. They are going to put the extra dirt over the top though so that's all good.

   We then released the rest of the balloons while listening to Calypso by John Denver.

   We then headed home where we had Cake that was specially made for Calypso's 2nd bday in Heaven. All in all it was  good day. Exhausting but good.

   I've been down though and I know that's because of her angel day very fast approaching. We've gotten 76 locations for Calypso's ocean Name Project. I've extended the gathering of photos until July 7, 2009.
