President's Day Parade


On President's Day, we went to the Alexandria City parade. President's Day is kind of a big deal around here, I guess mainly because Alexandria is George Washington's hometown. We happened to sit right across the street from our good friend Lucas (and his parents) and they were nice enough to cross and sit by us.

About 90% of the parade was the Shriner's. I didn't mind, because the stunt go-cart racers were awesome.

The bagpipers were also pretty cool.

It was pretty cold.
Afterwards, we got sandwiches at Cosi.
I don't know why, but for some reason, I can only get my kids to make crazy faces for the camera these days. Donovan is trying to cross his eyes here.

Hooray for friends AND parades. Especially when the scouts throw candy. And we get to see horses. Yeah!!

Flemings, thanks for the posts of DC. These sorts of events are definitely one of the things I miss.

Just wanted to drop you and note- your kids are so cute! I can't believe that they are as old as they are. Has it really been that long since we lived by each other? Wow.
