One of the things I love about a small town are the parades.
Yesterday we went to Comanche for the Rodeo Parade. Zack and his brother Clay were asked to ride in the parade because their mother Karen had been named as the honorary parade marshal. She was being recognized for all her years of work organizing the numerous parades and for her work with the Chamber of Commerce. It was a very special way to remember her and all she did. Zack and Clay rode and ponied a riderless horse in honor of their mom.
Ethan had a great time watching the floats and we waved to the all of the float riders. The parade was full of "royalty" including the Rodeo Queen and Princess, the Peanut Princess from Gorman, the Peach and Melon Queen from DeLeon, and the royal court from Dublin (I can't remember what festival they represented). You gotta love small towns!
Like all good parades the float riders threw candy and Ethan enjoyed his first lollipop!
After the parade Ethan enjoyed climbing around on the porch of "Old Cora" which was the first Court House in Comanche. It's a really neat log cabin with porches, a dog trot, and a lot of history.
All in all it was a great Saturday and we really enjoyed the parade and hometown visit!
