Veteran's Day Parade - 11/11/11





Team Oakley is proud to say that we support the troops who serve to protect our freedoms, and those who have fought to do the same in the past. This Veterans day we set out to Franklin TN to show our support by cheering for the Veterans in the parade!


It was a sweet sunny day, but it was VERY chilly. Beka had a bad morning filled with doctor appointments and frustrations, so Michael made very certain to make sure she had a good rest of the day, and he was EXTRA sweet to her.

Emery was doing his best to Make Mom feel better as well. 


fall was in full bloom with it's mighty colors and brilliant scenes. It is so majestic out here in the south!





The streets were filled with people who were celebrating those who served right with us!!!





The parade was all lined up, ready to go! IT was 11/11/11 and they were waiting until 11:11am to start. 





And here they go!











During the parade, Emery got Hungry, and VERY cold. He was not used to the drop in temperature. He kept looking at us like "really mom and dad, you bring me out in this cold!" 



He did look pretty cute all bundled up though. 





After he was fed and wrapped warm, we all went back to enjoying the parade. 






















After the wonderful parade, we decided to walk up and down the streets of Franklin and look at the leaves and window shop. Emery was not about it at first, because of the cold, but he was a good sport. 








Emery fell asleep for a while, and then we went into a toy store. We had no idea he was awake until we lifted up the visor on his stroller, and his eyes were HUGE!


HE WAS SO EXCITED!!!!




Later that night we went to Emery's Godparents house (Godmamma K and Pep Pep) to celebrate 11/11/11 at 11:11 pm. It was a wonderful day, and much needed time of friends, and remembering what is important. Thank you to all who serve. You are our heros!

Love
Team Oakley
