Memorial Day parade view

Kujo and I had our Memorial Day planned out since it's rare that we both have a day off together. We hadn't been to see his family in Columbus for a while so we planned to get up and go Monday with the kids. While I was fixing breakfast, Von yells "Fire truck mommy." Well, at times he calls all emergency vehicles (EMS, police, fire, etc) a fire truck, so I figured it was the ambulance picking up the woman across the street.

A minute later, he yells "fire truck, mommy" and I looked out the window and sure enough there was a fire truck ... and an ambulance ... and REACT ... then another fire truck. I looked out the windows to see if there was a fire or wreck and couldn't see anything. I walked down to where the poeple were leasurely sitting and discovered they were lining up for the parade.

I completely forgot about the parade taking place. Luckily, the kids got to watch REACT, the EMS, two fire trucks and a police wagon pass by our front window. They were so excited to get to see a parade ... from our dining room window!
