Memorial Day Parade

Carolyn got to march in the Memorial Day Parade today with her Brownie troop. It looked like it was going to rain hard – and it did sprinkle for a while right before the parade – but it turned out to be perfect!

And then the sun came out, and there was a little carnival. And where there are carnivals, there are face painters…

Carolyn chose strawberry ice cream with a cherry on top.
Anna went for lemon ice cream and patriotic sprinkles.

We did lots of walking, and it was hot, but we had a great day!

After a long, hot morning of walking, it's time to take a rest!

And then after dinner, we went to the local ice cream parlor. (Along with most of the rest of the town!)  Because, with ice cream painted on your cheek, what else would you have for dessert?!?
