Lucy and Lily Baker taking a break for a snack.
The parade was great and watching it got me thinking about everything that our military sacrifice for us. At one point during the parade there was a woman pushing her child in a stroller that had a wreath with a picture of who I assume was her husband, as a memorial to him hanging around the stroller. It really struck me and made me realize how grateful I am that I have a husband that comes home to me every night, and that my girls have a daddy that come home to them.
I could tell that Annalyse was very interested in the soldiers. Every time we are out around town and we happen to see someone in a military uniform her eyes get real big and she says "that's a soldier mommy". The girls were chanting U.S.A. throughout the entire parade and every time a military person came by they would yell out "thank you!". It was so cute and you could tell it really meant a lot to those in the parade. It always brought big smiles to their faces.
Lily Baker was hilarious. She really got in to the cheering. Most of the time she would let out a big "Roll Tide". They would be yelling U.S.A. so sweetly and proudly then in a second switch over to the Alabama fight song.
Charlotte did awesome during the entire parade. She sat there for over an hour and a half and never fussed a bit. Her grip onto my shirt got a lot tighter every time she heard a firetruck siren or the drums from one of the bands come by but she never fussed. She was a trooper.
Thank you so much to our soldiers that sacrifice so much for our country's freedom everyday!
