Memorial Day Parade

Little late getting these posted, but we certainly wanted to document how excited the kids get for candy.

Waiting . . . waiting . . . .


Logan: "Who cares if he has a gun. He has CANDY!"


A full-masked fireman is probably not the most approachable candy-giver. Madison took a pass on this one.


Do you know how much perfectly good candy made it down that drain? What a shame.


Young Sarah Peterson hooking us up.


Madison tried to take a pass on this one, too, but Jenny made her face her fear of unnaturally tall patriotic ladies.


Unfortunately a flier is covering up most of the loot. Basically, Memorial Day is twice as good as Halloween: you get just as much candy, but don't have to wear a patch over your eye, walk around rich neighborhoods, and say "Trick or Treat!" (What does that mean, anyway?)

I love the picture captions! You guys are so funny. I also loved the post about what Grant would say if he could talk. You have such a cute family. I'm so glad you started a blog.

Our kids were excited to be throwers of the candy. We have signed up at South Euclid and Lyndhurst City Halls for all of our sports. We started getting the information when our kids went to school or from friends whose children went. I will let you know when sign up starts if you are interested. We do soccer and baseball.
