Memorial Day 2012

Here are a few pics from Memorial Day.

Getting ready for the parade that goes by our house. 


Happy girl.  She spent the morning playing with an empty Altoids container.


Checking out a bug.


I wanted a cute pic of the girls in their chairs, and believe it or not, this was the best one!  


Waiting for the parade to start.


Here it comes!


Lena waved her flag at everyone.


The middle school marching band.


Glad there was still some candy left, even though we are near the end of the parade route.




They even had beauty queens!


Eva was on my lap, but she waved too.


It wouldn't be a Middleville parade without a few tractors.


Another chair picture attempt.  Eva's face is so red because it was really hot.


Perfect day to go swimming that afternoon.


We've been getting lots of Orioles at our oranges.


That evening, Jim noticed a turtle getting ready to cross the road right by our yard.  He didn't seem to notice/care that cars were whizzing by, so Jim ran out and grabbed him.  I know people say turtles are slow, but this little bugger was really bookin' it!  Jim had to run to catch up to him before he got smashed by a car!


Lena was already in her jammies, so he showed it to her through the window.  


He carried the turtle to safety across the street.
