memorial day

waking up early to save seats and parking my catukas out in the chilly morning air has been my responsibility for the last two years on memorial day. my peoples and i eat our breakfast of champions--bananas and donuts--while cheering on our veterans during the memorial day parade that passes right in front of my house. sadly though, last monday was my last time as hostess. but don't worry, it didn't keep us from having a blast. =)

we tried to see how many thumbs up and horn honks we could get from each of the floats and with every response, we roared obnoxiously in approval. well... i was obnoxious at least. hahaha. and you wanna hear something sad? there were way too many cars & trucks that didn't have working horns. how much of a rip off is that?! NO horn DURING a parade. its blasphemous i tell you! blasphemous. we still had a great time despite the obvious set back. and the neighbors around us had a good time laughing at us... i mean me. =)

here are some photos taken by adam and i during the morning's festivities:

after the parade, we all headed to the fort wayne zoo where we got to see some... MONKEYS! i love monkeys. they're the bestest, most amazing animals. so amazing in fact, that i named my cat after one (george). =) we stopped by the mall after the zoo and did some light shopping. we ended the day at fort wayne's rave theater where we watched 'night at the museum-battle for the smithsonian'. it was so-so.. alright, i lied. it was stupid. i may have chuckled here and there but the only part i liked about the movie was... the monkey. hahaha.
