'Proud To Be An American' Day

This was the 44nd Annual 'Proud to be an American' Day at Bryce & Dylan's school. It is always a really fun, patriotic day! They had a program where the flags were raised by the Boy Scouts, patriotic songs were sung, then on to the parade around the neighborhood by the school. After the parade, there was a hay ride,snowcones and lots of fun activities and crafts for the kiddos.


Raising of the flags- it always seems to 'get to me'! Especially when there were lots of soldiers there, since we live close by to Ft. Hood.


After the program- Dylan getting ready with his 1st grade class to get into 'parade mode'. Each grade makes matching shirts or hats (or both) to wear that day.


Dylan marching in the parade. The parade is led by a police car, then the soldiers with flags, then the High School Drummers, then each grade from 1st - 5th . There would've been more than 400 people in the parade!
