This morning the kids and I headed into downtown Mesa to help celebrate and show our gratitude for our Veterans. This day came at the perfect time because of the recent elections. For a moment, it gave me hope and more pride in our great country. The parade started off with multiple fly byes of various war planes. The kids were in awe as they looked up to the sky)! Then the motorcycle cops came down the street to start the parade and I reminded the kids that the cops were there to also keep an eye on them (hoping they could find a way to keep their hands off each other). Smiles! Then we saw many veterans, scouts, marching bands, motorcycles and cool army trucks & tanks. They even had a real life size tank roll down the street. Wow!!! It was super loud and rattlee, but so amazing to see up close like this. God Bless this great, beautiful land in which we live!!!
The evening was a little eventful and became very unplanned as we found a Christmas tree. Yeah!!! We left our other tree in NC (to save room and the heartache of streaming lights every year. My arms have been sacrificed for several years by being filled up with scratches!). We set it up after the kids went to sleep, so it will be fun to hear their reaction in the morning. Not sure yet when the decorating party will be, but no doubt there will be pictures to follow!
