So, while there are at least 15min. left on the clock for this Veteran's Day, I thought I'd do a quick post with some of today's pictures.
At the very last second I decided to haul the kids to the annual downtown Mesa Veteran's Day parade... I know, what was I thinking, right??? Sam, the twins, and ME... I would be all alone, completely out numbered, but we ended up having a blast.
Even though we arrived 30mins. after the parade started, we found the best parking spot (and yes my car was still there when we got back, and no I did not park in a handicap spot ;-) and we walked right up to an empty spot along the parade route, perfect for the kids to see all the action.
It was such a great parade; so emotional. Sam was full of questions about Veteran's and the army, etc; she's been learning a lot about Veteran's in school so this is probably why I got such a strong sense that I needed to take her to the parade today. I am so glad I listened to that "little voice" because it was just what me and the kids needed today.
I think this guy was B+B's favorite... right on the back of his bike is a black basket with a little white dog wearing sunglasses... it was the funniest thing!
And if this doesn't bring back bad memories, I don't know what does... GO DRILL TEAM!
