The boys were able to participate with the cub scouts in the parade. I got a fairly good shot of Ethan but only a passing back view shot of Josh. Bummer. But to see all the cub scouts waving their flags was pretty neat.
Abby collecting her loot. See that tractor in the background? We must live in a farming community huh. 
Look at these ponies. They were tiny. I had to get a shot. I don't ever think I've seen horses so small. 
After the parade, the city gave out something like 5,000 free baked potatoes! And they were really good. They must have salted the outside or something because even the skin was great! Yum. A parade. Free bags of candy. Free lunch! At the park, they had all kinds of booths and bouncy houses, slides and all kinds of fun things for the kids. What fun. They even had a tug of war with tons of mashed potatoes in the center. I would have liked to watch that, but we missed it. All in all, it was a fun day. What a great little holiday for our cute little town.

after reading posts like these I can see why Ryan wants to live in a small town instead of a city! sounds to CHARMING!
That sounds like lots of fun, Mary! When my parents were young they would get a few weeks off of school in the fall to help with the potato harvest. Seems like you guys are enjoying it there. (Although we still miss you guys here!)
What a fun tradition. Those potatoes looked yummy! Cute pictures, as always!
How fun and funny! Miss you guys! Can't wait to see you for Thanksgiving!
