Every year, the Meadows parade gets a nifty flyover by an Apache helicopter, and after the parade, it lands down at the baseball fields for the kids to go have a look-see. This is actually the first time I've gotten to go see it, since Jacob has usually bugged out on the parade as soon as we see Dad and Brandon. Brandon is such a gadget/weapon guy that he did a pretty thorough inspection, even in the pouring rain. By the time we all made it home, we looked like he were fresh from the shower.
