Memorial Day in Our Little Town

We went to the parade for the first time this year since moving to this town. After our story hour theme was "parades" last week and the kids received flags and practiced marching, I knew we had to go! It's a small parade, but both the boys certainly enjoyed it! Okay...I did too! The marching band had nothing on our hometown, but there's something about hearing a drumline!


We found a perfect, shady spot to stand right in front of the high school...




Waiting...




VFW...octogenarians walking alongside 20-somethings...


Junior ROTC...



High school marching band...


Fire department (our priest was somewhere in there)...


A classic fire truck from a neighboring town...


My favorite of the classic cars...



After the parade we drove up to the lake shore to walk around...



This park has a picnic area and lawn, two nature trails, a rocky swimming beach, and offers many free, family activities throughout the season. I know we'll spend a lot of time here this summer!
