Happy Veterans Day everyone! The kids were off school, and we had a lovely day. In the morning I took them to their doctor's office to get their H1N1 Flu vaccines. We were #500 on the waiting list, but when I took Levi in for his 1 month visit a couple days ago my doctor agreed we needed to get them immunized quickly to protect little Levi. By the way, he now weighs 10 lb 8 oz, and he's doing great.
For cub scouts today we went to the cemetery in town and helped pick up all the flags from the veterans' graves.
I brought all the boys with me, and they had a fun time running around, looking for flags.
It only took a few minutes, so then we walked around the rest of the cemetary, reading tombstones. A huge thank-you to all the veterans who have fought to preserve our freedoms!
Why did you have to pick up all of the flags while it was still veterans day?
ReplyDeletedon't know - they just asked for volunteer scouts to put them all out in the morning, then they had a ceremony at noon, then they wanted scouts to pick them all up at 3:00. we chose that one b/c it was close to our regular meeting time.
