This morning at 9 am our girls were dressed and ready to march in our local Memorial Day Parade. We had fully planned on staying home and resting up, picking them up when it was over...until we saw them in uniform. The minute Adam got back from dropping them off he suggested we head to the Via Main Restaurant for breakfast and watch them go by. :DWe showered and got there at 10:40 am, our food came and we were half way through it when the parade started. We jumped up and headed out the door (the waitress chasing after us). Turning around we announced, "Don't touch the food, we'll be right back. Our girls are marching by in the parade and we want to get pictures of them!" Everyone in the restaurant laughed as we watched and snapped pictures. Running down the street with the band trying to get one of Sammie in the middle of the whole group. It didn't happen. These are the only clear shots. :D
What a great experience! They were awesome!
Alex was out front with the rifle. Sam was a few rows in with her saxophone. If you blow up the marching shots, you can just see Sammie's head sticking up over the banner. LOL
We are so proud of these kids! My gosh parenting does have it's rewarding moments. :)

You girls did great. I was standing on the street watching you and again when you turned the corner onto Andrews St. Kept pushing people out of my way so I could keep up with you. Love, Grandpa.
Ahhhh...thank you for watching us Grandpa! Love, Alex:)
I could see Sammie in the band there - good camera work, Shell. Glad you girls got a chance to be in a Memorial Day march. I remember being in one as a Cub Scout way back in the day, though we didn't get to handle firearms like Alex. Nothing says "America" like kids and weapons :)
LOL...Jeremy if you could have seen her with this gun...it was hysterical. :D She's all excited about maybe joining the military as a career someday. Too funny.
WOW..How great is that? Papa & I were smiling like a couple of goof balls looking at the wonderful pictures of you guys in the parade. How wonderful for sure to live in good ole US of A. You girls are so cute we can't wait to see you guys..:) :)
How fun! Looks like a great day!
Won't be long Mom and Dad! Three more weeks and we get to see you guys! Hurray! :D
Andrea, it was a very fun day.:)
