Our scout troop decorated a float to ride in the parade.
(I think these were the cutest boys in the bunch.)My favorite picture of the day!
Since we were towards the end of the parade, we got to go out to the street and watch.Wow, it was pretty neat... a little emotional to be reminded of those that have served for the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. I feel so blessed and grateful for all of the courageous men and women that have served our country.
This guy came right up to my boys and said, "Boo!"
We saw marching bands from local schools, Moses Lake, and even Boise, Idaho. This was my Kamiakin High School's marching band from Kennewick, Washington. Go Braves!
We watched the parade for over 2 hours before it was time for the scout float to join the parade.
The boys felt really cool being a part of the parade. It really was a fun experience and I think Veteran's Day will mean a lot more to each of us this year.

Grandpa would be proud!
Wow, did not realize the Auburn Veterans Day parade was so high on the stats. I love the pic of the boys sitting on the curb watching the parade- too cute. We have never watched the parade as a family, although when I was in the hospital after Josh was born I had a great view of the parade from the hospital room which I remember well...maybe we'll have to catch it next year. Looks like the boys scouts had a good time.
That really is such a great picture of your boys!
I had no idea the local parade was that big. I'll have to plan to go next year.
