Memorial Day has become a big thing in our house. Besides the importance of remembering those who have and are serving our country, it's the kickoff to summer. We go downtown and see friends in the community we haven't seen all winter and we take pride in our town. We have a lot of fun at the parade and we have a lot of fun making it a big deal. Caroline has always had so much fun dressing in her patriotic outfits for the parade and this year we got to include George in on it too. The weather was touch and go but it cleared long enough for the parade. The rest of the day wasn't so nice though. Fun was had and hopefully out weather here will start looking a little bit nicer!
All ready to go!
Heading to the parade!
She loves a parade and has grown so much,
but I still see that little girl in her first pigtails marching in her overall dress :)
George taking in his first parade
Her second year taking a picture with her friend Gary
She was offered the chance to ride in the parade in this engine
but she deicded not to the morning of because she was afraid she wouldn't
get to see the rest of the parade then. Maybe next year!?!
Sleepy baby
He was tired from the start and quickly fell asleep once the parade was over
Dancing and twirling while the speeches were going on
Caroline totally gets into the holiday! Good for you Caroline!
