Last Monday we had off from school because it was the Memorial Day. It's a day when Americans celebrate and remember all the people who have served or are serving in the military. In the morning I walked downtown to see the parade. My friends from marching band and color guard were marching there, so I had a good reason to go there!
The parade ended to the cemetery next to our house. Yes, our house is just two houses away from a cemetery. It is kinda creepy. There they had a service, what included couple of prayers, songs, and speeches.
Later on we had a family hang out. Good food was of course involved. Memorial Day weekend is usually the weekend that the pools open. My host parents had made our the pool all ready for swimming, so we got to spend the hot summer night there!
I have a lot of new blog posts coming up, for example about Lititz, choir banquet, and Washington D.C trip. So keep up checking my blog weekly!
