Hannah has always wanted to be in a parade. It was on her "bucket list" of things to do. Today, she officially crossed it off her list because the kids and I all got to walk in the Veterans' Day parade with her American Heritage Girl troop.
I honestly believe once is enough for us. We were placed in line at the end of the parade. We missed the flyovers, the military trucks and tanks and hearing the marching bands. We stood in line for hours even before the parade started and with Caleb that is no easy task. The parade itself is quite long, almost 2 hours last year. By the time we arrived home after meeting friends for lunch downtown, it was 2pm. We had arrived downtown that morning at 10am. Whew! The kids and I are beat but do have a fun memory. Hannah was sooooooo cute. She yelled at every veteran, "Happy Veteran's Day!" She seemed to be having a blast! The boys? Not so much but they were troopers to stick it out and walk in a parade beside a bunch of girls.
These pictures are ones of us lining up before the parade began.
