We made a little family history on the 3rd of July by three generations riding in the Apple Days 4th of July Parade in Torrey, Utah, in Wayne County in a float promoting the Harvest Star Fest in October, a Dark Skies event. Nancy and I rode the float, with Larry driving the Jeep pulling the wagon. In this particular photo, you can see us in the back. Ben is holding Kaylee. Arrion and Alex have on their Star costumes. Megan, a 4-H teenager is on the right - the 4-H students helped build the float under Annette's lead and direction... notice the stars all around.
It is the first time we have all been in a parade, together. Quite an experience in this neat small town, full of tradition. There were other events going on all day, of course.
Families are Forever! ;-)
This Blog focuses on Ancestor Stories, both the stories themselves about my family’s ancestors and discussions of where they come from and how to prepare and share them. These stories may be non-fiction or fiction – we will always tell which is which, of course. Also see my KINNICK blog and The HOMEPLACE Series Blog, left sidebar, scroll down.
