Deb in NZ Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 How many of you greeted the sunrise at Dawn Parade? We had a beautiful ceremony & for the first time in over a decade it didn't rain & we didn't freeze. And the breakfast at the scout den was yummy as usual :) Ds#1 is marching in his 2nd parade today, this time with the pipeband. Then it's off to sailing we go for the closing day at the yacht club. Hope all had a wonderful sunrise. Blessings, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peela Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 We dont celebrate/commemorate ANZAC day ourselves, but dd15 went to the dawn parade with her Venturer unit. They were going to have to leave the Scout hall at 3.30 am to get the the city, so they all slept over. Dh and I were out at swap meet at dawn, as usual- it was a beautiful dawn- but everyone was apparently at the dawn parade , so that was a bit of a disappointment. Coincidentally, we did study the First World War from Australia's perspective this week. Just happened to come up in the schedule. So at least my kids will not be completely ignorant what ANZAC Day is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 We dont celebrate/commemorate ANZAC day ourselves I have often wondered how I would manage that without offending everyone around. Keeping quiet seems the best bet. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
