Once again, Mom, Dad, and Grandma brought me to the Memorial Day Parade. I loved seeing all the bands, also known as the instrument guys, floats, fire trucks and military vehicles. Basically, if it's huge and on wheels....I'm there.
Mom and Dad are determined to teach me to value what others have paid a price to provide for me. Everytime a flag came past, we stood. Every time a serviceman walked by, we waved and clapped. Following the parade, we walked to the cemetery for a special ceremony.
Mom and Dad want me to know that Memorial Day is more than just a day off of school for hot dogs and brats and working in the yard. So we will have our tradition in participating in the Memorial Day activites....and then have brats.
Before successfully eating my first brat (and loving it), I had to get a little exercise.
