Old Soldier's Day Parade

 Our ward participated in the Old Soldier's Day Parade this year and our family was invited to pull a handcart.  It was so fun to have Mark in town with us.  The Old Soldier's Day Parade is a celebration of veterans and a recognition of those who have fought in wars. 


 These ladies came by with some cute puppies, this one happened to be named Palmer.  WE had to take a picture. 



It was so fun to see all of the members of our church because they would cheer as we passed by.  It was great.

We were supposed to bring a quilt to put over our "stuff" to make it look like a real handcart and I got to bring this beautiful quilt that was once my grandmother Palmer's.  It belong to her mother and I think it is near 100 years old.  It is in amazing shape and I loved having it. 
 The boys got to hand out church literature and I was proud of them!  They also got to hand out candy, which I am sure that they ate more of than gave out.   


We had a great time and can't wait to go next year!
