So on Friday we went out to Haxtun, where Justin and I grew up for Corn Festival. We all had a good time. We left about nap time thinking Jade would sleep. . she slept about 30-40 minutes. She wasn't screaming, just chatting and looking around. We got out there to see both grandma and grandpa's before they had a dinner. My parents and Justin's mom graduated in the same class 50 years ago. . Corn Festival is also the time where the alumni meet for the class reunions. That night we went to a neighboring town to eat since everyone was busy. We had Rocky Mountain Oysters. .yum. . . Jade was starved. . she ate a corn dog, a Rocky Mountain Oyster, 2 pickles, a ton of fries and grapes-- this will equal a huge problem Sat. morning since she rarely gets fried food. Then we came home and went to the high school football game. Jade had so much fun playing with the kids on the track in front of the football field especially the Gillotte girls . She was so dirty and exhausted. Justin had a busy week at work, so we all went to bed by 10. My parents stayed out to 11:30pm, and Justin parents came home at 12:30am. Do you see some role reversals here?
Saturday morning at 9:30am is the kiddie parade, then followed by the main parade. Here is a pic of my niece and nephew Blake and Jessa looking down our main street. They are ready with their bags for their candy, which is tossed from the floats during the parade.
This entry into the kiddie parade is adorable. I can't wait until Jade can ride her bike in the parade.
She blew out her diaper and woke up with a horrible diaper rash so it took her awhile on Sat. morning to get going, so we did not go to the Fireman's breakfast.
All of my parents grandkids.
The band float.
My parents Class of 60 float. They are the first two sitting on the right.
There are street games(shoe kick, egg toss, races etc) downtown after the parade. Jade's first penny scramble. Dad had to help her. It will be a couple of years before she can do the three legged race with dad.
Right there Jade, pick up the penny!!!
Lily Haynes looking for pennys too.
Grandma and Jade taking a break on the sidewalk.
Jade riding the rides with her second cousin Tate. She had so much fun with Peyten, Tate, and Avery Goddard.
Jade at the Fish Pond game. You stick a fishing pool inside and get a toy for 50 cents. Grandma Gay was working inside the fish pond.
Lily riding the car ride.
We did not got to the demolition derby that night, but came home and slept.Sunday morning, we had a brunch at my parents house with everyone. My parents are getting ready to head south for the winter. The kids wore Jade out playing with her.
We got home about 9pm last night. . so tired today. I had better go get unpacked. It was great just to get out of Denver for the weekend. Jade had a blast with all the activities and playing with all the kids. It is such a blessing to finally have a child to take to Corn Festival. Seeing things through your child's eyes is the most precious thing. We have a big dr.'s appointment on Thursday.
