To honor our Vets, Maddie's 4th grade class invited the veterans in their lives to participate in a celebration at their school on Veteran's Day. They were asked if they would like to share their experiences with the class, in small groups... and the kids had made apple pies to share with their guests. Maddie invited her Grandpa Ken, who was in the Navy... so Grandpa and Mya came up for the celebration.
The pie was great, and everybody had a good time. Especially Maddie, who was thrilled to have her Grandpa there just for her to share with her friends.
That night, we all went down to the Veteran's Memorial Park in Belmont, where Maddie's class sang the National Anthem, with bells and all. The memorial service was very nice... and very cold! But well worth it.
