Let's Go To The Garden, Kids!

Joshua and Kayla were up for the evening, so after supper we went to the garden. First on the agenda was to dig potatoes. Joshua thought his little flower spade was what we needed. Kayla's job was to hold the sack.

It was just like an Easter egg hunt, looking for the potatoes.

Next was picking corn. The kids said walking down the rows was like a "rain forest." Too bad they got eaten by chiggers!

This was one night's picking of tomatoes!




It's the Jackson County Parade!!

With great anticipation, the kids keep looking down the street for the start of the parade (with, of course, their candy bags in hand.) The amount of candy that is thrown from floats is amazing!

What??? An Equinox on the Varco Motors float? It isn't a Dodge/Chry vehicle! Good Job, Brian on the float!

Notice that Lisa has her camera ready; also that Joshua's bag is getting full. The weather was just beautiful....not too hot...a little overcast. Some interesting floats this year: like the motorcycle rider that had her dog and the dog had on sunglasses; or the truck that was so busy waving to the crowd that he ran into the back of the float in front of him.


Grandpa and Kayla


Tyler was just happy to be on board, except when that big army truck blew his horn.
