Celebration at the Station

The only picture I took at the Celebration at the Station event...playing cards.

After church, a few families (the Thornes and Popes) from our ward got together and went to a special event called Celebration at the Station, right outside the WWI museum.  We sat on the grass to eat snacks and play a few games before it all began.

We honored those who served in the military, listened to patriotic music by the KC Symphony, and watched a spectacular firework show.

The kids even went to where the cannons were being shot, talked with a few men and women who had served in the military, got some ear plugs, and watched the cannons fire.

It was a wonderful event.
