memorial day 2012

i really can't believe how quickly time passes

i feel like just a month ago i was posting about memorial day 2011

my oh my.

this year (as we have done for every other year for the past 4 years) we started out the day going to the little memorial parade in town. 

i feel like this picture should be on sesame street when you need to pick out which one doesn't belong.
can you guess which one woke up on the wrong side of her toddler bed? 

daddy decided to run up and down the driveway while pulling the wagon

he definitely scored some fun daddy points doing that!

on our way down to the village. 
not sure how ella got behind. 
she is the fasted one in the house.

yep this is more like it.  sophie becoming the caboose.

mommy is right behind you little guy...don't worry.

a grand reunion after not seeing one another for days one day. 

so cute!

yes levi we see the firetruck. :)

then we came back and did some swimming.
not sure what momma was thinking...
i totally let levi go down the slide into the water without holding my hand.
ella (who is wise beyond her years) quickly grabbed his hand before letting him go under.
sorry levi...and thank you ella!

one of my all time fave's of my little abbie.

overall i would say it was a great day. 

 

and of course we thank those servicemen who have given their lives to protect our county.
talk about sacrifice.
thank you!
