Thanks to Those That Gave All

Monday we make sure to attend the Memorial Day parade and pay respects to those that gave all for our freedom. Here is Maddy and the back of my Mom's head. We got there early and sat in the back of our cars waiting for the parade to come by...

Here is my sister Susie posing with Maddy...still waiting...


And the other kids in the back of the truck ...


The kids loved the parade...we especially enjoyed the local boy scout troup carrying the large American flag...


After the parade...everyone files over to the local cemetery and the local band plays taps and the veterans salute the fallen. It is a very emotional presentation that reminds everyone what Memorial Day is really about.


After the parade and presentation...it was back into the lake for another day of fun!

We took the kids tubing and then everyone had a relaxing day playing in the sunshine and lake waters!

I hope all of you enjoyed your holiday weekend!! 

How did you celebrate? Do you travel for Memorial Day weekend? Do you know any service persons? If so, please thank them for me!

Hugs to you all!
