Veterans Day Parade

As is a tradition we went to the Veterans Day Parade in Oroville, CA....we want the little ones to see and understand the important roll the military and veterans (in particular) have in the freedoms we have (but are quickly surrendering to the slow socialization but many who hate the military in the first place.)

The amphibious vehicle was the little ones' favorite.
The back of Mami, Victor and Amelia's heads as it goes by.

These guys were fun too.


Who says Cali doesn't have Fall colors?


I think the thing the young ones liked the most was the candy thrown out by the paraders. We tried to teach them about each group as they passed. The national guard was their with their modern equipment and the veterans with their historic vehicles and equipment were present as well.
You did know that Veterans day is the anniversary of the end of WWI?
The armistice was signed the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month...our parade started at 11 AM PST.

Back home it's now my once a week (during non-tour days) lunch with my good magician friend JC Dunn as the older ones load the trailer for the shows this coming weekend.
