I mentioned before that my little town has the biggest Veteran's Day parade in the state of Kansas. We're pretty proud of that! The parade took a whopping 2 1/2 hours!
Now I'm not gonna say it's the most exciting parade, but it's definitely the biggest! :-)
At 11 o'clock the parade stops and the horns play TAPS and we're always impressed by the kick butt jets that do a fly-over.
This year the fly-over was about 2 minutes late so it really surprised us all and of course I wasn't able to get a picture... which makes me sad cause that's just about my favorite part of the parade!
(besides the horses of course!)

| poor Riley cried through pretty much the entire parade. First he was afraid of all the sirens, and then he was just crying to cry I guess? |
 |
| notice the soldiers boots on the saddle.... the horse who returned without his soldier. Always gives me goosebumps |
 |
| this person standing right infront of me was a Vet. It was pretty cool because all through out the parade soldiers were stepping out and coming over to shake his hand. I sure do love this country. |
 |
| this is my high school.... I used to be one of those band members! :) |
 |
| my dad used to fly these when he was in the Army |
 |
| we even got a fire engine straight from NY! |
 |
| WWII Vets If my grandpa were alive he'd be in that group, he retired from the Army as a General |

| my dad, Retired LTC, and the kids |

| and how fun is this guy?! I just love it! |
