Happy Memorial Day!

Although the annual Memorial Day parade was HOT, we were excited because this was the first parade Ella got to participate in as a Daisy. She wanted to walk with her friends only (as opposed to me joining her), but given there were 15 girls and only 2 moms, another mom and I were quick to offer to help them herd the cats.

With her candy in hand to throw to the crowd, she was ready to go!

Here we come!

Ella was ready to throw her candy to the crowd.

While I was herding the stragglers.

It was quite a job :)

And this is the cute face we were throwing candy at.

And this one....

And of course to these cute people :)

Thank you to Nana, Pappy and Gigi for joining us on this hot, hot day!

Ella loved being in the parade and was excited her family was there to cheer her on.

After the parade, there was a lovely ceremony at the green remembering all of the soldiers. It was beautiful!
