Josie's school had a parade this morning (well the first graders did). The parade was to celebrate Memorial day and the sacrifices made every day by our military families. Josie was so excited to decorate her bike and to throw candy to everyone. She decorated her bike over the weekend with whatever she could find in the house. It was really neat to see her excited about being patriotic. Over the weekend we talked about the meaning behind Memorial day and talked about what Memorial day stands for and that it's not just another three day weekend. We took them to a memorial day celebration in a city just north of us. They had a wreath laying ceremony, color guard, fly-over and a 21 gun salute. It's a great feeling to see our children understanding and learning about such important events in their lives.
