Emma & I had so much fun today being in a "real" parade! This was in downtown Mesa - really a great experience for our troop (and the many other Girl Scouts from our council who marched with us). Our council's theme was "Veterans in Our Family" and the girls had fun making banners showing off photos of their grandfathers and other family members who have served our country. I think they learned a lot today being a part of such a great celebration for these heroes :).

Thank you Veterans!!
I posted a short video below too. This was really a fun celebration and I'm so glad we were able to be part of it, and have a lot of our family there too! :)
