Nicholas at "Some Gave All" Memorial Motorcycle Ride 2011

Nicholas' first Memorial motorcycle ride.  Nicholas, Mommy & Daddy got to the event around 9:30 am and got home around 4:30 pm.  Nicholas was good as gold even in the heat and around all the loud motorcycles, band, and many many people.  He was a little trooper!



Nicholas in his car riding around checking out his first Frazier-Mason motorcycle memorial ride.  Daddy bought Air Force shirts since there was little Air Force representatives for the event.

Just a couple of motorcycles in front of the parade.  The ride starts at Spotsy High School where Sgt Frazier went to High School and ends up at King Gerge High School where Sgt Mason went to school.  Both were killed over in Iraq.




The estimated motorcycle count was between 900-1100.




Mommy & Nicholas walk around while Daddy got a few pics from the roof of the High School.
