Memorial Day is a strange holiday. We always go watch the parade. Finn calls it the "candy parade" - he doesn't really get what it's about yet, of course. Memorial Day parades are supposed to fill people with patriotic pride and appreciation, I think, but they sort of devastate me. VFW. Gold Star Mothers - just tear my heart right out, will you? Even the Boy Scouts depress me on Memorial Day. And I find music with horns weirdly emotional. But at the same time I really enjoy seeing Finn have a good time, and I even made sure to get a good spot for candy. Why did I do that? Because he's been hounding me for candy all day now.




Yeah, she looks like she's having a good nap, but she woke up after only five marching bands.
