We dressed in our Patriotic best, added a few embellishments here and there, and set off for La Grande to watch the Veteran's Day Parade and add our gratitude for what our Veteran's have done for us and this great Nation. It was cold and rainy, so we had to improvise a bit to keep warm and I figured a few pictures at home before we left would be a good idea or we might not get any good pictures after standing in the rain. 
The girls are awfully proud of their Big Cousin & Dainey, so they were happy to wear their Air Force Shirts. We had to add some yellow ponytail holders and some glitter in our hair and some red/white/blue ribbons here and there. Since we had leftover Halloween face paint, I decided to draw a flag on their cheeks. Amazingly, the paint did well in the rain. The flags were still in excellent condition upon arriving home, after standing in the rain, walking to and from the parade route, and eating a plate full of spaghetti at the American Legion Spaghetti Feed afterwards. Weather aside, we had a real nice day.
