For Memorial Day this year we got a special treat. Spencer got to march in his first parade with the Minooka Junior High School Marching Band, it was awesome! It was a pretty "roasty-toasty" day, but we had a great time being part of the fun. It was a perfect little snapshot of Americana with the small town parade and a service in the town center at the end. Here we are waiting anxiously for the band and enjoying the parade (which lasted about 8 minutes)...
Here they come! I can't tell you how excited I was to see Spencer marching in the band! I have to admit to getting a little teary-eyed, it's just a funny thing about me I guess...
We lucked out because Spencer was actually on our side of the street, can you see him? He was right in step!
That's my boy!
The kids were very excited about the band, but they were also excited about the major amounts of candy that were thrown at them during the parade...
That evening we enjoyed a fun barbecue with some friends from our ward. It was hot, but we had a great time anyway.
Carter especially enjoyed the ice cream cone he charmed out of some unsuspecting soul...
Not wanting to waste any swimming time, Sydney and CJ decided to eat their cones in the pool.
All-in-all it was a great Memorial Day weekend!

I'm so proud of Spencer, he looks so official. I remember feeling so proud when RaeAnne and Steve used to march in parades. It does a Mothers heart good.
