Memorial Day celebration

McKinney's historic Pecan Grove cemetery was the place to be on Memorial Day. The memorial service was complete with rifle shots, playing of Taps, plane fly-by and various men in war uniforms for the opening parade.
Black powder really does stink! I can only imagine the smoke cloud of all the rifles on a battle field.
My patriotic girl waving her stuff to the band music!

Zachary loved seeing the American flag flying from the fire truck's ladder! As we left the cemetery, we HAD TO drive by the fire truck to see the ladder being lowered.

AND

Why you don't hold young children with long-stick flags...
