Memorial Day '13

After several consecutive days of sun, we woke to a rainy Memorial Day.  And, while the prospect of viewing the Elm Grove parade was in question, the little lady and man's spirits were high as we began our day eating breakfast at Bob and Dawn's house.  The mere thought of arriving at their home before 9am sent the little lady into spontaneous fits of happiness, our spirited social butterfly.  With hoods up and umbrellas open we made our way to the parade only to stay through the much anticipated fire trucks.  Thankfully, they arrived shortly after the parade started.  Leaving Bob, Dawn and George, the dog, to enjoy the festivities, we set off for post-parade sprinkle donuts.  After a family nap, which almost never happens these days, we took advantage of Memorial Day sales and purchased a few items for our new home. (More on that later...)  After a few hours spending Dad's hard earned money, we were able to return the favor, inviting the Bob and Dawn over to grill, the perfect ending to a busy day.
