Daddy had a panic attack

We went to the D-day remembrance ceremony today, and after the ceremony we were heading for home. Well, I tried to tell daddy not to go the way he was headed, but would he listen to me.... NOOO. But daddy learned his lesson, he started having a panic attack.
The way we went was near where there was a shooting on Saturday in a mall, if things had turned out a little different daddy and I would have been in that food court on Saturday. But instead of going the safe direction today, he went past that food court.
Well I am happy to report that daddy is starting to feel better, now that we are home, and in our safe place.

A bunnies guide to Highland Games

A bunny friend of mine sent me this a few years ago, I had told my friends about being excited to go to my first Highland Games, but wasn't sure what to expect. Well, he sent me a very funny list of the games played by the Scots. So here is Grouchos theory to Highland Games.

"They all seem to involve a rock or a stick. Mmmm, yummy stick. Oh yeah.

Caber tossing - a really big stick
Hammer toss - a rock at the end of a stick
Weight for height - tossing a rock over a stick
Strongman walk - carrying a really big rock.
And of course
Golf - hitting a little rock with a stick.

And he was right, although they don't play golf at the games, but the rest was right on.

My flags

Well, Shazz got very close. With 6 of the 7 flags.
Going left to right, the flags are..... (drum roll) Canada, USA, UK, Ireland, Scotland, and UN. The last one was the Jolly Roger flag (pirate).
Now, as for the reason for that flag. Daddy formed a flight (squad) from cadet friends, they called themselves Pirate flight. Their mission during wargames was to act like Privateers (pirates), and harass and disrupt enemy units by any means. They were very successful, stealing weapons and supplies from the enemy.
The use of pirates in modern war, especially by the allies, isn't as far fetched as it sounds. During WW2 the allies let loose their PT boats (gun boats, USA, the kind that JFK commanded), and TPB (Torpedo Patrol Boat, UK) in the Mediterranean with the orders to harass, and disrupt enemy shipping. Essentially government sponsored pirates, which history has shown to be true, the first pirates were crown sponsored, and given free reign to loot and plunder enemy ships.

As you can tell both daddy and I are full of useless information, that on very rare occasions comes in handy.

Successful parade

Well, that was a most exciting parade. With a few surprises to boot.
When the band did their solo performance, they did a selection from "Phantom of the Opera".
I got quite a few compliments on my flags.
I should be able to post a short video when we get it edited together, some time in the next few days. Depending of course on if we get internet back at home soon.

Parades

Today daddy and I are off to a very important event, it is 700 Squadron's annual parade. Sort of a graduation for you civilians.
During this parade the cadets March past the reviewing stand, and get awards that they've earned. Daddy is an alumni of the squadron, so me and him get to sit with the VIPs.
Which of course means I have to dress up in my uniform, and my flags are flying on my stroller. Not only for today, but for the rest of this week. The Queen's Diamond Jubillee, which is the next three days. The D-Day Celebrations, which are on June 6th, and for the Georgetown Highland Games, which is the 9th of June (this Saturday).
I'm posting a picture of my flags, lets see if you guys can identify each of the flags.

Lots of transport

Well, daddy and I talked to loads of nice people at the disabled persons show, found out some useful information, and got to ride the choo-choo train again. We, well daddy mostly, got soaked to the skin with all the rain we had today.
We also got to ride in grandma's car to go home, and, I got to use (sleep) in my carseat again. I was really wore out being so cute.
Actually so was daddy, when we got home he and I both had a nap.

Traveling by choo-choo train

We are on our way to a show for disabled people, and to get there faster (and slightly drier), we took a choo-choo train to get there.
It's not that new, but it's still exciting for me.
