I wanted to post these yesterday, but we spent the majority of the day outdoors enjoying the unseasonably hot weather. And wouldn't it figure that of the two parades that I've participated in during my lifetime, the one occurs on a day when temperatures are in the mid-nineties?
Nonetheless, my Girl Scout Troop marched like champs through the heat as both veteran and non-veteran onlookers clapped in appreciation (Credit goes to Mark for taking these great photos of the parade. As you can see, I was too busy waving to the crowds.).
These photos make me sweat just looking at them: heavy uniforms and NO SHADE.
I felt for those bus riders who had to wait for the cheerleaders to finish their routine. On second thought, no I didn't. They were sitting in air conditioned luxury.
Although they were unable to march, these veterans were still honored with the best seats on the parade route.
As we marched by, the American Legion gave us big cheers.
When the girls reached the end of the parade route, where Freez-pops and shade awaited, there was only one word to describe how they were feeling.
