Small Town Fun!

There is just something about high school homecoming weekend that always reminds me why we left the suburbs of a larger metropolitan area 13 years ago and moved back to small town life. Nothing like a good homecoming parade to bring the whole town out on a beautiful late summer weekend! I love that the kids still build "old fashioned" parade floats on hay wagons with tissue paper stuffed into chicken wire. Break out the old, seldom-driven firetrucks and show 'em off, load up the fall sports teams, dressed head to toe in school colors, along with the cheerleaders and homecoming royalty, throw some candy and just have a great time!
