Doing Nothing!

I must admit, Veteran's day is not a holiday I often get excited about, or even think about for that matter... but after this years experience I might actually look forward to Veteran's day next year!

We made plans with some of our favorite people (Jaso and the Shelton family) and had a great day "doing nothing". We (and by we I mean Adam - because I was working one of my many jobs) made cinnamon rolls the night before so that we would have hot fresh fabulous rolls first thing in the morning (thank you Prior family for your wonderful recipe)!!! And then we all headed over to the Murrieta Veteran's Day Parade! Sounds cheesy huh?! Well it sort of was, but it was just the perfect amount of cheesy to be super fun!

Bennett loved it! He watched everything!






At one point a guy was handing out "Jr. Park Ranger for the City of Murrieta" badges, we all put them on!
Here's our whole group just after the parade ended. Bennett and Audrie seem rather interested in something to the left and apparently there was some memo that went out to between the guys to all wear gray shirts - but still, I think it's a great picture!
After the parade we walked down the street to the Veteran's day celebration were we enjoyed the FREE lunch that was being handed out and then we went over to Chick-fil-a to have our free chicken sandwiches that we had been handed coupons for during the parade! So, yeah, lunch was totally free! Random, but fun!

After the parade and free food fest, we headed back to our house for good conversation, Balderdash, more cinnamon rolls, naps and eventually soup and grilled cheese sandwiches followed by more good conversation! Seriously, it was such a great and refreshing day that can only be had in the company of good friends because who else can you invite over for the whole day (and evening) and say "Do you want to come over and do nothing?" and actually have them come! Hope you all had just as great a Veteran's Day!
