Shop, Salute, Slide and Sleep,,,yes there was some sleep!

We had a busy busy Veterans Day!

First on the agenda was stopping by the fabric store to buy some thread that was on sale.  The boys were not impressed, as was evident by Matt screaming "no mama" as we pulled up in the parking lot.  We made it out alive, just barely and headed to pick up our buddies Natalie and Lisa.

Then we were off to the running shoe store to pick up my packet for the following days race.

Back downtown to take in the sights and sounds of an awesome Veterans Day parade.  The boys LOVE this parade and we plan to go every year.  It is a humbling experience and a needed reminder of the fact that actual people fight day in and day out for our incredible freedoms.  I think it is great for young and old alike to see a face on these soldiers.  Of course, the boys loved the tanks, trucks and jeeps.  They have also been playing marching band around the house for days now.





We have yet to make it through the whole parade and when the kids were done we headed to "Moo" (Chic-Fil-A) to pick up lunch.

We then went to a local park and proceeded to camp out for the rest of the afternoon sliding, swinging, lunching and playing hide and seek. 







Needless to say, we had a big crew of tired little kids!!  So tired in fact that both boys were in bed and asleep at 7:30...which has N E V E R happened!!
