It was our annual trip to Preston, Idaho, to celebrate Rodeo weekend. A time for fresh dipped corn dogs, parades, rodeo and the carnival....oh and don't forget the famous Rodeo Burger. Layne talks about these all year round and all the way up to Preston (its gotta be the secret sauce??) They celebrate Thurday, Friday, and Saturday with the carnival, parade and rodeo each night. Its quite the party!! It was a special trip this year because all of Layne's family was in town. It was great to see everyone and spend time with each other. Well, we hit the parade 2 nights in a row. Now I think the Preston parades throw out more candy than any other parade I've ever seen. The first night it took Julia a little while to get into the flow of things because all the bigger kids grabbed up the candy quickly and Julia was picking up the leftovers. But she still walked away with about a quater of a bag of candy. Saturday night we helped decorate the float for Grandpa Cromwell's 30 years with Eye Care For You!!! All the kids helped and then got to ride on the float to pass out eyeball candy...how appropriate!! So that left Julia and cousin Miles to get all the candy during the parade. I think Miles just saw Julia and thought there is no way I can compete with her....because Julia was on a mission.....Leave No Candy Behind!!! She was picking up her candy and the neighbors candy on both sides of her. I think she only sat down once to grab a drink because she was working sooo hard to get allll the candy. And she is fast too....if you don't have an eye on her your outta luck. She will just all of a sudden just take off and you have to chase her. She was all hot and sweaty afterwords from working so hard. She walked away with 1/2 a bag of candy. It was so heavy she could barely lift it. She certainly wore me out. I worked up a sweat just chasing her and keeping her wrangled into her own area. If I hadn't she would have been all up and down the street. Well, it was a great weekend all around. Good times and good memories. Until next year!!!
