This Veteran's Day we got up early and headed out in the cold and snow to watch a parade.
We got bundled up so we wouldn't freeze. It didn't work. :) It was cooooooold!
We played a little before the parade started.
The kids got tired of having their pictures taken and tried to get me to stop. I didn't. Even when they threw leaves at me. :)
Finally the parade started.
We saw some Marines.
And lots of American flags.
We listened to a few marching bands.
And saw some pretty flag girls.
The horse-drawn wagon is always a big hit with the kids.
So were the Army Jeeps.
Alex loves the drums.
This Steelers truck was a HUGE hit with my boys.
And they always love to see the firetrucks too.

We came home with several pockets full of parade loot. Those Veterans sure to throw some good candy! :)

Well that is GREAT loot! :) I am loving all the fall colors and leaves in your photos, absolutely gorgeous.
Looks like a blast!
A wonderful parade series. Those horses are beautiful!
Great pictures! I am in awe of that Steelers truck! I can't imagine being that big of a fan!
What a great way to spend the holiday- I love the flag girl (used to be one & march in parades) and I love the Marines- so touching!!
That IS some serious candy for a parade!
Wow! I love the way you captured the parade; up-close. It looks like you have a very fun day. That reflection in the tuba is pretty cool! The photos of your children are fantastic!!
Wonderful parade collection!! Makes me really miss a nice, small town parade!! My kids had to go to school... which is why I went to work. Staying home and watching a parade... even if cold sounds so much more fun! I think my favorite is the tuba shot, btw... though they are all wonderful! =)
