On Memorial day, we took a bike ride and watched the parade that our little town does. The kids enjoyed watching all the "soldiers" come by, the marching band, tractors, firetrucks, race cars and more. They also enjoyed receiving free ice cream, otter pops and TONS of candy! It seemed like anyone who went by threw candy our way. After the parade we went to Legion Park in our town for a big town BBQ. They had a great memorial service for all who gave their lives for this country, a DJ and a chicken bbq lunch. Isaac had fun playing frisbee with Jim. During the picnic, there was a sudden downpour of rain and all 5 of us tried to roll up in a sheet together to stay dry. It was pretty comical.
Later on in the day, we hosted 21 people for a bbq if our own. Everyone had a great time, especially all the kids. They didn't even wait to put on their swim suits. They just went in the pool with all their clothes on. They also had a great time playing at the park and playing in the driveway with all of our toys. Isaac told me it was such an awesome day because he got to go on a bike ride, see a parade, eat candy, play at the park, have tons of friends over and get wet. It put a smile on my face and I can't wait to do it all over again.
