Dd and a friend slept in the tent Sunday night.  Monday started out nice,  but mid morning it rained for about an hour.  Lol, my kids had just finished washing the car. Luckily I had seen the weather forcast the day before and insisted that the kids take the tent down.

By parade time everything was dried off.  I drove the car in the parade with the signs the kids made for the lemonade stand were taped on the sides. The horses were so close behind me that the muzzle of the first one was all I could see in my rear view mirror.   There was a misunderstanding so, not being one to make waves, I decided not to take park where I had planned.  The girls sat with the car and the lemonade by the street.  I went to the ceremony.  Youngest ds was one of the flag bearers for the Boy Scouts.  He had to stay the whole time.  We ended that part of our day with food at the Legion Hall.

About 5:00 I took dd and youngest ds to the beach at Presque Isle.  Lake Erie was COLD, but the kids swam for about an hour.  Every one had warm baths or showers when we got home.

PS  The Boy Scouts cleaned the cemetaries and planted flags on the vetrans' graves.  One of my neighbors told me she hoped her husbands grave wasn't forgotten.  Later that week ds told me about wars the people had served in where he planted flags, and that he had put a flag on C. N.'s grave.
