Veteran's Day Parade

Everyone loves a good parade and on Veteran's Day in Alamosa, this is the place to be. We arrived almost an hour before start time to stake claim on our spot and then Bill went to Milagro's for the java.

It was so adorable to see these four boys (Parker, Justin, Jamie & little Ryan) all standing still with their hands over their hearts. The boys were getting restless as we waited for the parade to start at 11:11...they wanted the candy! Five local marching bands actually participated in this parade, an oddity for an Alamosa parade.

















As the car with the World War II and Korean War veterans passed by, Coleen made the comment that our kids may never know a veteran that fought for something more important than oil. How sad! (No disrespect meant toward veterans and soldiers who are currently fighting...they are doing their job and can't help that their commander in chief is an idiot.)
