(gives me chills)
We had a fabulous Memorial Day. In the morning we went to get donuts and saw the parade in town was about to start. Jonathan was going to go play soccer, so we (Jonathan and I before he took off for soccer) got the kids in the wagon and I began to trek over the cemetery to the parade. As I went through the cemetery I could hear the music from the parade and was worried we would miss the whole thing. Well, my running up a hill with kids in the wagon paid off. We got to the parade just as it was passing us. In fact we had such a prime location that it was like having our own personal parade. People in the parade honked horns just for Dom and made comments on the kids in their patriotic outfits. A marine in the parade took our picture and got our address to send us a copy! It was like the movies with those small town parades. I love the east cost for the small towns with all this history. The cemetery I ran through has revolutionary war victims.
After the parade we got ready for the ward BBQ and headed to it. The event was a lot of fun. Time to get to know people in the ward (now that we have combined tow wards) and fun water fight for the kids. Dominic had a great time and loved playing with all the kids. Taylor was adored by many and was squished tons getting all the attention she wanted! A wonderful day.
Watching that parade as they had people dressed up in uniforms from all the wars made me so thankful for those who have served this great country. What they have sacrificed for my freedom. We are so blessed!
