Happy memorial day to you all!
We had a picnic at the Miller's today. The day started with a parade thru Strasburg, headed off by the armed forces color guard. (Picture below is of Marines: Cole- American Flag, friend Trevor- blue PA flag, and Brother-in-law Todd)
Here are Todd & Cole in front of the house by the Marine Corps flag... They make me proud!
Brayden sat on great-grandma's lap for the entire parade! I think that is the longest that he has ever sat in one spot for longer than .3 seconds! =)
It's starting Brayden! Do you see the flashing lights?
After the parade, we had some wings, BBQ spare ribs, homemade mac & cheese, etc. SO YUMMY!! Before dessert, we took a walk down to one of the many cemeterys in Strasburg that honor our veterans. (The flag picture at the top is from the cemetery. Each flag represents one of the 4800 soldiers who gave their lives in the Desert Storm & Iraq/Afghanistan wars.)
The guys were pretty whooped after the "long" walk, and took a quick nap on the porch...
Some other random pics from this weekend:
Me & my favorite/ONLY brother Cole =)
Cole's girlfriend, Hope, and mom at the parade:
Brayden climbing on/playing with Pop-pop!
Playing with Uncle Weenie on the John Deere Tractor (Cole's old tractor!!)
Mimi pushing Brayden around in the dump truck that he just HAD to sit in...
It was pretty warm out, so Brayden was trying to stay cool! Needless to say, he was SOAKED thru!
