Yesterday was Mesquite's Veteran's Day celebrations. Started out with a parade which was pretty good and well attended by the Mesquite residents. There was a lot of candy thrown out and it was quite entertaining watching the little ones scoop it up. After the parade we went to Sun City where they were having a charity event. There was entertainment and a free barbeque. They also had a silent auction which we didnt participate in. Later that afternoon the Rotary Club had a golf ball drop. They had a big crane with a box that all the purchased golf balls went in and it was raised in the air and opened. The golf ball that landed in the middle hole won $1,000. We bought 2 balls but apparently didn't win. All the money raised went to local Mesquite charities so we weren't too bummed we didn't win. We weren't there for the drop because we went to St. George to a barbeque that Little Mike's friends threw for him We had a great time and it was so much fun to be with them. All in all, we had a great day yesterday.
