The Brookfield Civic Band did the Memorial Day parade today in Menomonee Falls (the first picture is the falls, since I hadn't seen them before--I snuck a quick picture during three measures of rest in the music:) It was actually a very long parade, with many many parade-goers---we were LAST in the entire parade line-up!! (The organizers of parades have to be careful not to group the various bands too closely together--not fun for the bands or the people who are there to just sit and enjoy the parade. AND, unlike the past two mid 90 degree temps--today was over cast and right around 80 degrees---PERFECT parade weather--hats off to Mother Nature for such a gorgeous day!!Following the parade, my family was invited to the home of one of the musicians for a backyard cookout---a few of the musicians were there--and we all had a wonderful time today!
God Bless all the men and women their loved ones, who have and who continue to serve our beautiful country!

What fun!
so have you ever watched a parade yet?
isn't that funny---I take pictures of the people watching the parade, while the parade-goers are taking pix of us:D No, I honestly have never seen a parade, except on TV--I ALMOST even did a rosebowl parade in high school--but our band was disqualified because our colorguard wore shorts instead of skirts--that would have been COOL!
