Hope everyone had a happy Memorial Day! We had a lot of fun! We started out the day with pancakes for breakfast, then went to watch our little small town memorial day parade - there's not a whole lot to it, mostly tow trucks, high school marching bands, and firetrucks, but we love it! :) Traditionally the parade ends at the cemetery where there is a ceremony at the grave of an unknown soldier. People lay dedicatory wreaths on the grave, and there's a 21 gun salute as well as a WWII bomber flyover. Josh and Claire took their turns standing in front of the statue with their hands over their heart, and saluting. I love Claire's salute :) After, they were handing out free ice cream, and "The-Obama-free-hotdog-man" man gave us all hotdogs on their portable bbq truck/float that drives around the city on holidays campaigning. I love this town. Later on we went and picked up some more flagstone for the path in our front yard, and then we spent the rest of the afternoon working on the house and in the garden. We had a yummy BBQ dinner and roasted smores in our firepit for dessert. It was a fun day!
