On the first Saturday of every June, our little community goes nuts over Flag Day. It's our big celebration of the year. The big events are the parade in the morning and the fireworks at night. It's a small parade on a short route, but that doesn't stop people from flocking in for the fun.
Matthew was only about 7 months old on his first Flag Day, so he was able to enjoy it a little more this year.
Sometimes, I get sad that I don't live in my hometown anymore because I wish Matthew could experience things that I grew up with on a regular basis. This is his hometown though, and I think the annual Flag Day festivities will be part of his childhood that he will fondly remember as an adult.
