Dylan, my proud little patriot

We made it to the Memorial Day Parade today. And among the moments of candy throwing, restlessness and awe at the firetrucks, Dylan became a patriot. I was so proud.

We were watching the parade, oohing and ahhing at the firetrucks and respecting the veterans. The dance team did some stunts in front of us and had Lilly impressed. Then, the SPCA came along with the dogs available for adoption. We can't adopt any more dogs, we have 4, three of whom spent a brief sojourn at the SPCA. Still, the dogs get my attention.

The SPCA mascot, a human in a dog suit, got Dylan's attention, and apparently Dylan got the mascot's attention too. Suddenly, the mascot is handing off a flag to Dylan, who waves it proudly. It did my heart good.
