Keeping the Small Town Spirit Alive

A few years ago, in an effort to keep the small town spirit going inspite of it's growing population, the local sheepherders started a heritage festival plus parade where they were able to herd their sheep off the mountain for the winter right down mainstreet. Now, it's a well attended parade full of old fashioned vehicles and huge modern tractors.  This year our kids were able to pull a handcart in the parade filled with their younger siblings and cousins and a few of grandpas crazy chickens.  One of the hens got so worked up she laid an egg.



Our kids are the 2 in the middle, flanked by their cousins.
Grandpa was so nice to set the whole thing up and help keep the kids in order!
Way to go Grandpapa!
