I am so happy that they brought back Old Timer's Day. It was always one of my favorite times during the year growing up and I was sad when they did away with it in 2008. I'm pretty sure that I was on a float every year growing up. All week long it was warm but then the rain came the night before and brought some chilly weather with it! Just how I remember Old Timer's Day! We went to dad's office to watch the parade. Mom, Pam, Jana, Josh and Kenzie met up with us to watch as well. I was impressed with all the people who had floats in the parade. I figured since is had been so long since the last parade that it would fall short. The parade lasted about 30-45 minutes. Kenzie loaded up on candy and shared some of it with Liam. The parade ended with Aunt Maggie and Uncle Mark on their horses. I figured Liam would love to ride so I threw him up there with Maggie for a photo opportunity!
After the parade we walked around the square to see what all was there. I was impressed with that as well. There were plenty of places to eat and lots of booths selling crafts! Jana had a hair appointment so we made one loop around the square and then headed home. I hope that they keep this tradition going so that Liam will grow up to remember some of the good times I had as a kid.
