Anzac Day

 Hello Friends!  Yesterday was a special day here in Australia and in New Zealand too!  It's a day that is a bit like Veteran's Day in America.  Many Australians have the day off to reflect upon and show respect for their Defense Forces.  Matt was honored to march in their annual parade.  This is his second time marching.
 He even posed for a quick picture with Olli before he left.
 This is a Naval Monument located on Anzac Parade, a street leading up to the War Memorial Museum.
The girls were so excited to see the troops march in.

 
 Near the end of the parade, Matt marched with other Americans.

 There he is on the left of the photo.
 The tanks were an impressive end to the parade.
 Addi enjoying an Anzac biscuit.  These are biscuits that were made to send to men involved in wars in distant places.  They liked to send these particular biscuits because they keep very well.  I enjoy making them and sharing them on this special day with my family.
What a lovely Autumn day to celebrate and reflect.

Enjoy today!
