Yesterday morning, I took the girls to a Veteran's Day parade down by the oceanfront in Virginia Beach. It sure was a lot colder than the last time we were there! The Virginian-Pilot ran a series of articles about local P.O.W.s that really moved me, and I thought it would nice to do something to honor all of those men and women who have served our country. I don't think Nora really understood why we were there, but she sure did enjoy the free candy that the veterans kept throwing to us. Caroline got her first taste of Reese's Pieces and had fun trying to join those marching in the parade, as I chased her from behind. After that, we met up with Judy and Taylor at the mall and rode the carousel and lunched at the food court. Nora and Taylor went into a automated photo booth and had a series of pictures taken labeled "Best Friends" - it was adorable! We stayed close to home today, but still stayed pretty busy; after gymnastics, we had Amber and her son Gunnar over for a bit, and then we played outside with Reilly and Zoe later this afternoon.
