Pioneer Days 2008

The day started early for Jack. He was at his announcing site at 6:30 AM to set up chairs in the spot he had roped off for the family the night before. He had borrowed barricades from the OPD which they had left standing by a utility pole. He made signs to put on the barricades, "Reserved for Parade Announcer." When he came in the morning and set up the chairs - he replaced the barricades so the OPD could use them to close off the road. They had no clue.

Just before 9:00 AM, family started showing up. Half-way through the parade, we had a good sized group! Mike and Kathie joined us with some of their grandkids, and Shauna came, with her girls and some cousins/friends. Ann's sister, Melissa and her husband, Blake and their twin boys were also there.

Here are a few of the parade photos. We had a cookout for the few family members who were available later in the evening. Grandpa came over for that and we loved having him there! Lisa took some pictures at the cookout - I'll post them when she sends them to me - check back soon for those.Lisa got a shot of most of the kids in the truck with Grandpa Jack.Here are some cute cousin shots. I love seeing the cousins have fun together!The two youngest grandchildren, Bo and Rachel.
