Busy Saturday

Yesterday Paige and I went to Laurens to celebrate the 125th birthday of the town.

It started with the parade. She and I helped pass out jerky with the Jack Link's crew. It was such a long parade route that I pulled her in the wagon that we had decked out with Jack Link's boxes and ribbons. She loved helping pass out the goodies to everyone.

After the parade we met up with my cousin, Kelly and her kids, Kennedy and Landen. We had an awesome lunch together at the Masonic Lodge. And then went to some of the Main Street activities for the kids. The girls had a ball at the water fights at the Fire Station and the giant inflatable "jumpies" in the business district. There was also a kiddie train made out of barrels and pulled by small tractor.

I ran into a few classmates that were also on Main Street with their children. It's so funny how little everyone has changed in appearance even though it's been almost (gulp!) 20 years since we've graduated.

I didn't get to see any of the evening activities since Paige and I left town about 4:00 to get ready to head to the racetrack.

The poor girl was wiped out by the time we finally got home about 10:00 last night.
